Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2924 The master follows every step, the master follows the trend

  Taixing eight years, autumn.

   Jiangdong.

  The weather in the autumn tiger is extremely hot, as if you want to put everything in Jiangdong into the pot, cover it, and simmer on high heat.

  In Jiangdong, in Wu Jun, all kinds of people are paying attention to the situation on the front line. It's just that the high-level people who can participate in the discussion of the war are all silent and obscure. On the contrary, the soldiers, generals, and local gentry at the lower level are arguing fiercely in this gloomy atmosphere, and some even quarrel with each other because of disagreement. Spraying and blushing, his neck was thick, but he just didn't move.

Not only the news of repeated advances in the front, but also the worries caused by Cao's army going north and not attacking Heluo in accordance with the covenant. These messy information gradually spread to all parts of Jiangdong, not only in the army, but also in the army. In Minfang, it stirs the hearts of everyone in Jiangdong.

   If it is said that Jiangdong's march has achieved results, it is not without it, but if it is to say how much it has been harvested, then it cannot be said.

   Anxiety, restlessness, fear, confusion and other complex emotions are like clouds above the head, getting bigger and bigger.

  Whether to move forward or retreat, continue to increase investment, or leave the game at a loss, this is a question that almost every guy who puts his bet on the table must consider. Is the defeat of Sichuan and Shu a false positive? Is the loss of the general a temporary shock or a dangerous signal? Everyone in Jiangdong has their own ideas, and no one can convince anyone.

   It's like a meeting with a master.

  Some people are confirming whether the matter is true or not, while others are colluding with more people to discuss countermeasures.

  Some people put aside the facts, and some people just want to find an outlet for their emotions...

  Under such circumstances, the news of Chen Wu's death reached Jiangdong. It was like a thunderbolt, and then it rained cats and dogs, causing chaos in Jiangdong.

  A generation of rangers has fallen.

  In the era of the big man, a large area of ​​burns is a terminal illness.

  A large area of ​​infection leads to sepsis, and then leads to internal organ failure, even the gods can't save it.

  When Chen Wu was alive, not many people liked him.

   died, but many people started talking about Chen Wu...

What kind of chivalry did Chen Wu do in Jiangdong, what kind of righteousness he fought for, who he saved, and what he did. As for Chen Wu's dirty things in his daily life, it seems that everyone has forgotten in an instant , keep silent.

  All these rumors actually have the same meaning, Chen Wu died unjustly!

  Sun Quan secretly twitched his face, and then expressed his sadness outside, and then sent someone to comfort him first, and then promised to go to condole in person, so he barely suppressed these voices...

   Anxiety pervaded inside Jiangdong, like white foam boiling in a pot. It seemed to be agitated very high, but in fact it was all bubbles. But it is precisely because of these bubbles that it is difficult to see what is in the pot.

   It's like Sun Quan knew that Jiangdong's pot was full of sewage, but judging from the bubbles on the surface, it seemed to be very pure.

Sun Quan also didn't believe that "one generation can only do the things of one generation". He even knew that the upper and lower ranks of the Jiangdong gentry, as long as they have a little brain, they are all thinking about family inheritance and matters passed down from generation to generation. It is impossible to think about it. What kind of "generation"...

   Fools like Chen Wu are the real "generation", and then they are gone.

   Is Chen Wu not thinking about the next generation?

   Obviously not.

   But what is certain is that Chen Wu definitely didn't think too much, and didn't even arrange to do anything.

  Because after his death, almost everyone gave Chen Wu various honors, titles, and praises on the surface, but in fact they cut up the fat left by Chen Wu...

  Who told Chen Wu not to think about it?

  He doesn't even think about the next generation, the next generation, if he doesn't do the things to arrange the next generation, the next generation, does he expect others to think about it for him? Counting on others to be his cheap parents, godfather and godmother?

  Since Chen Wu didn't make arrangements in advance, he can't blame others for being rude.

  Sun Quan is welcome.

  When Sun Quan offered his condolences, he was so distraught that he supported Chen Wu's coffin and lost his voice in pain. Of course, there was no real body of Chen Wu in Chen Wu's coffin, only his clothes, and because Chen Wu's body had rotted in Zigui, it was burned, and the remaining ashes were still floating slowly on the road, perhaps Along with other wounded soldiers, they will not be able to reach Jiangdong until next month, or next month.

   But the funeral cannot wait.

  Sun Quan wiped away the tears that may or may not have been sad, and asked Chen Wu's wife what she wanted. Don't be polite, just say, but whatever he can do, he will definitely do it...

  Chen Wu's wife looked aside with cold eyes, then fell to the ground, begging Sun Quan to let Chen Wu be in the ground, and still feel the warmth of the world and the nourishment of love.

  Besides, was Chen Wu's concubine, trembling with fright, before she could say anything, she was slapped to the ground by the strong woman behind her, knocking her head and fainting.

   Obviously, the strong woman under Mrs. Chen Wu bowed her head and reported. Chen Wu's concubine kowtowed to ask for her death, and asked Sun Quan to complete her.

  Sun Quan looked at Chen Wu's concubine who had fainted from joy, what else could he say?

  Fulfill it, complete this love.

   Then Sun Quan granted Chen Wu's child a school lieutenant, who didn't even have a miscellaneous number, and allocated 500 miscellaneous soldiers, and then left under the gratitude of Mrs. Chen Wu and her children.

  Five hundred miscellaneous soldiers, that is, Shanyue Tuntian soldiers.

   This kind of soldier can still do chores if he wants to eat, farm, or do chores. Do he want to go to war...

So generally speaking, when Sun Quan rewards these miscellaneous soldiers, it won’t be long before that person will report that they are all missing, run away, and escaped. Some soldiers who can really go to the battlefield.

   But after Chen Wu died, not only did his children not let these miscellaneous soldiers go missing, they even kept them well, reporting them every year, and there were not many of them, so naturally there was no need to fill in the vacancies.

  Because whether it is Mrs. Chen Wu or Chen Wu's children, they all understand one thing, Lujiang Shangjia has nothing to do with them, and there will be no more "Lujiang Shangjia" name...

  Although Mrs. Chen Wu and her children may not really be willing in their hearts, what can they do?

  Chen Wu died too early, and no follow-up measures were arranged. Mrs. Chen Wu was able to take advantage of the situation to clean up the inner house and eliminate the hidden dangers of family separation. She has achieved the ultimate. As for Chen Wu's children, she even protects five hundred miscellaneous soldiers every year. Have other people at ease.

  With the end of Chen Wu's funeral, those voices praising Chen Wuyi for living a great life and dying in a chic manner gradually disappeared as if they were buried together in the ground, and the only thing left was the sound of chewing.

  Most of the projects behind Chen Wu's life that were not clearly explained and had no way to plan for the future were all cleaned up. After getting the benefits, of course there is no need to say more polite words.

In a few days…

  Who is Chen Wu?

After attending someone's funeral, Sun Quan met with some people very much, but most of them would not say anything substantively. Even if they mentioned military affairs, they would talk about superficial things without pain .

  With one exception.

  Lu Xun.

  Sun Quan and Lu Xun talked for a long time.

  It has grown to the point where everyone knows it.

But no one knows exactly what they talked about. They only know that when Sun Quan sent Lu Xun out, he stood at the gate of the courtyard, held Lu Xun's hand, and said earnestly, "Brother Gongjin was very happy when he was in Chaisang." It's because I value you... Now that things have happened, I can ask Boyan... Go ahead, proceed with caution...』

   This scene was seen by many people, and it spread out immediately.

  Some people were cursing, some were chattering, and some were muttering. Under such circumstances, Zhu Zhi became the commander of the third batch of Jiangdong, and Lu Xun became a military adviser. He gathered the army and went to join Huang Gai.

  At the same time, there were also rumors that Huang Gai would be dismissed because he was unfavorable in combat.

  In Jiangdong, there is a very interesting thing, that is, all rumors will not be officially recognized, and the official notices will always be inconsistent with the rumors, but in fact, there must be one or part of the rumors...

  Zhu Zhi knew in his heart that he had to use all his strength this time, otherwise the end would be very bad.

   After all, the case of a certain person is dangling ahead, and his concubine is wailing underground.

  Zhu Zhi will succeed Huang Gai as the commander of the new Jiangdong Army.

   This is not a good thing.

  Huang Gai's defeat and the loss of a general may seem serious, but in fact, it's not a big deal.

   Is there a war, who is the general who wins?

Huang Gai was indeed defeated, but Huang Gai also took down Yidao, Zigui and other places. This is a fact that no one can deny. Therefore, even if someone died, Huang Gai cannot be blamed for this, because Huang Gai There is evidence that he reminded a certain person, and it was a certain person who repeatedly violated Huang Gai's military orders. Even if he did not die on the battlefield, he might be punished by military law.

   After all, some street thugs, rangers, and sluts, who only think about the immediate and don't know how to think about the long-term, really think that if they gather together and elect a leader, they will be able to sit on the table?

   Being eaten is almost the same.

  『A certain figure understands that Mr. Huang will definitely lose in this battle. Zhu Zhi sneered, sitting in the hall, "Even if there is no defeat in Zigui, the death of a certain person will most likely lead to a defeat with other reasons at some point, and then return to Jiangdong..."

  Zhu Ran frowned, "Father, what do you mean..."

   Zhu Zhi also frowned and remained silent.

  Zhu Zhi had five sons, but only three survived.

  Zhu Ran is the eldest son, but Zhu Ran was not born to him, but his nephew, who changed his surname and is considered his eldest son. After all, when I was doing things with Sun Jian, everyone tied their heads to the waistband of their trousers. No one knew whether the next moment would be life or death the next day. So at that time, Zhu Zhi asked Zhu Ran to adopt him in order to have a successor. to his knees.

   This is normal in a big man. After all, the average life expectancy of forty years makes most people face death almost as soon as they get a little bit of color. Zhu Zhi didn't expect at the time that after he let Zhu Ran come over, he would have several sons later. However, the reproductive conditions of the big man are still very poor, especially Jiangdong has not developed much in this area, let alone set up specialist doctors like Chang'an Hundred Medical Center, so Zhu Zhi's fourth and fifth sons died naturally. .

  Zhu Zhi now has two biological sons, but they are younger than Zhu Ran, and for some reason, his personal ability is not as good as Zhu Ran...

   This made Zhu Zhi both gratified and uneasy.

Zhu Ran has the ability, which is very good, at least when Zhu Zhi is still alive, he can help Zhu Ran get on the horse and run for a while, and then let Zhu Ran gain some power by himself, without worrying about the three melons and two dates of the old Zhu family , so that Zhu Zhi's title can be passed on to his own son smoothly.

   But the problem is that Zhu Ran is too capable. Afterwards, the Zhu family may be dominated by Zhu Ran, but his own son has become a foil instead...

Some time ago, Zhu Zhi consciously asked his son to do more work and reduce Zhu Ran's affairs. The purpose was to allow his son to grow up, and arranged some relatively simple bandit suppression military affairs for him to complete. Then his own son did well, but it wasn't enough.

   At least not enough to get involved in the conquest of Sichuan and Shu this time.

   This time, it is very dangerous.

  So Zhu Zhi could only take Zhu Ran with him.

   After thinking about it, Zhu Zhi also shared with Zhu Ran some things that only high-level people can know.

  『The third batch of reinforcements is mainly composed of Jiangdong gentry with major surnames... 』Zhu Zhi said slowly, 『This part of the people will be led by Lu Boyan...』

  Zhu Ran was stunned for a moment, and then understood, "This... Lu Boyan will agree? 』

  Zhu Ran was asking about Lu Xun, but he wasn’t actually asking about Lu Xun, because Lu Xun is probably just a spokesperson for the powerful gentry in Jiangdong at the moment. If Jiangdong gentry wants a share of the pie, they must take something out, but should these people hand over their property to Sun Quan? It became a candidate that both parties could barely accept.

  Zhu Zhi sneered, "Lu Boyan...appears to be submissive on the surface, but in fact he has deep thoughts...However, this time he can't help himself... After all, he is the only one who is the most suitable. 』

  Jiangdong, everything is business.

  Since it is a business, of course it is a sale.

  Some people buy their lives, some people sell their lives.

...

  『This is a conspiracy! Zhu Ran said in a deep voice, "Father, this is a conspiracy against you!" 』

  Zhu Zhi snorted coldly, "You are half right... This is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy..."

  Yangmou? Zhu Ran was silent. That's true. The conspiracy is afraid of being exposed, but the conspiracy...please feel free.

Zhu Zhi was a bridge launched by Sun Jian to hook up with the tyrants of the Jiangdong gentry. One end is rooted in the torso of the Sun family, and the other end is soaked in the colors of the Jiangdong gentry. However, this bridge has been in disrepair for a long time. It doesn’t matter whether it’s because I have accepted the essence of the wind and the sun and the sun and the moon to become refined. Anyway, I have my own ideas. From the initial free to the current two-way fee.

   "Two-way charging", it is a traditional art skill, and many people in ancient and modern China and abroad know it, but at the same time, they will never admit it.

  The judges in capitalist countries suddenly changed their expressions, coughed a few times, and calmly stated that they are fair, fair and open, and it is absolutely impossible to eat the plaintiff and the defendant. At the same time, platform companies in capitalist countries also took the case, angrily accusing it of slander, they are also fair and voluntary, democratic and free, and will never eat businesses and customers...

  Zhu Zhi was naturally very angry, thinking it was a rumor!

  How could the Zhu family do such a thing?

   It’s just collecting some promotion fees, publicity fees, recommendation fees, labor fees, material fees, water and electricity fees, etc. from both parties. Which of these does not need to be spent? Even the Zhu family posted money in it themselves, and they didn't make any money! Really, really not making money!

  However, it is now clear that Sun Quan's face sank and the Jiangdong gentry showed a sneer at the statement that the Zhu family didn't make money at all.

   If it is true that the Zhu family did not make any money, then all the private soldiers raised on the southern mountain of the Zhu family grew up drinking northwest wind? The Zhu family complains of losses every year, and it is other people's money that they lose, but the Zhu family's territory is getting bigger and bigger...

  So, both Sun Quan and the Jiangdong gentry felt that it was necessary to form a new bridge.

  For Sun Quan, if there is a new bridge, it would be the best, but if not, it can also be used to beat Zhu Zhi and the Jiangdong gentry. Anyway, Sun Quan's attitude at this stage is sufficient.

On the other hand, the Jiangdong gentry are also unwilling that Zhu Zhi will take advantage of their prestige, and then they will not share any benefits, and if they can conquer Sichuan and Shu, it will naturally be very good. They can extend their tentacles to Sichuan and Shu. It doesn't matter if you can't fight, whoever said that only victory is the mode of war, and it is not impossible to use the method of defeat.

   Both the left and the right are not at a loss, and the only one who suffers the most is Zhu.

  Zhu Zhi still can't refuse.

  Because of Huang Gai's defeat, Cheng Pu wanted to guard against Cao Cao.

  Wu Jing is an important core force of the Wu family, as long as Wu Jing doesn't move, no one dares to move him.

  In addition, the Sun family has been in turmoil recently. Sun Ben, the older generation of the Sun family, must sit in Jiangdong, so it is impossible to go to the front line, so Zhu Zhi is left among the many veterans...

  Relatively young, and there are people with strong soldiers and strength, Zhu Zhi can't make it up, so it can't be justified.

   Unless Zhu Zhi handed over all the authority in his hands.

   Is that possible?

  Huang Gai circled around, and Jiang Qin assisted in commanding the water army. If Zhu Zhi wanted to gain merit, he was forced to confront the Sichuan and Shu army on land. Now there are two roads before Zhu Zhi, one is not to give Lu Xun soldiers, but to use Lu Xun as a military adviser, but it means that the main responsibility is on Zhu Zhi's head, anyway, Lu Xun is just a suggestion, decided All those who implement Zhu Zhi, meritorious deeds are great merits, and demerits are major demerits, and the Huang Gai who were easy to fight in the previous stage have all been beaten, and the rest are hard bones!

   Another way is to give Lu Xun some military power...

  『In that case…』Zhu Ran said tentatively,『Soldiers are in danger. if…"

  Zhu Zhi narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, "I have thought about it too. However, if you really want to give it away... If it happens, you won't be able to take it back! 』

  『Then... what should father think? ’Zhu Ran asked.

  Zhu Zhi was silent for a long time, and then he exhaled slowly, "Nowadays... only the master is following the steps, and the master is following the same steps!" It was rumored that a certain person only wanted to be loyal and fulfill his duties, not to be passed down from generation to generation. For the sake of Jiangdong's inheritance, it would not be a pity for the Zhu family to die! 』
