Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 265 Ma Su: I Decided to Tell a Lie
When simulating the attack on the Wu army before, there was no such thing as someone falling into the water, so Ma Di couldn't be sure for a while whether this person was Lu Xun.

So, he asked the soldiers who knew how to swim to jump into the water with ropes, and dragged the old man ashore from the whirlpool.

It wasn't that Ma Di was out of kindness and didn't want to put Lu Xun to death, but because he saw that although the old man was old, he was very good at water. It seemed that even if no one rescued him, he probably wouldn't drown.

So, let's take a look and talk about it.

After a while, the old man's mood gradually stabilized. Ma Di looked at him carefully and found that he had a refined temperament, unlike ordinary people, so he asked, "I don't know where the master is from? How did he end up here?"

The old man looked nervously at the bearded general, then at the soldiers surrounding him, lowered his head a little uneasy, and twisted his hands together in embarrassment, as if he didn't dare to speak.

Ma Di immediately chuckled, and asked slowly, "Don't be afraid, sir, I am not a general of Wu, nor is this army of Wu, and I will not pursue what you just said in a hurry."

Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said: "My surname is Lu Mingyi, from Wuling, Jingzhou. I heard that war disasters are about to break out here, so I planned to go south to make friends with relatives and friends in the state. I didn't want to be caught in this flood and almost died. Thanks to the general for rescue. , the little old man is grateful."

Lu Yi?

Isn't Lu Yi the real name of Lu Xun?

Ma Di's heart was moved, and he secretly said: "If I pretend to be ignorant now, kill him quietly, and then plant the spoils on Pan Zhu, the son of Pan Jun, the general of Wu, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone!"

So, his eyes suddenly became fierce, full of murderous intent, and he was about to wink at Zhang Xiu, who would kill Lu Xun quietly, when he suddenly heard Lu Xun say loudly:
"Could it be that the army led by the general is the soldiers of Jiaozhou? Hi! This old man is an old man of the Lu family, and he is about to go to Jiaozhou!"

This sentence was very abrupt, very loud, and spread far and wide.

Ma Di was taken aback, and quickly turned around to look, just in time to see Lu Meng poking his head out of the carriage window, staring intently with a pair of bright eyes.

I had no choice but to nod helplessly: "That's right, it's the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhou."

Then the voice changed: "I don't know who Mr. Lu wants to defect to? Where does this person live now? I will send troops to escort you there."

Lu Yi looked at Ma Su suspiciously: "Jiaozhou Inspector Lu Kai is my brother, and now lives in Guiping City, Yulin County."

"Lu Kai..."

Hearing this name, all the soldiers around were surprised and looked sideways. They already realized that the old man with the appearance of a Confucian scholar in front of him had a lot of background.

It is very likely that the former general of Wu State, Lu Xun.

Ma Di pondered for a while, stepped forward and held Lu Xun's hand, and said enthusiastically, "Ahahaha... It's just a coincidence, I just happened to know your brother Lu Kai."

Seeing that Lu Xun still had some disbelief, Ma Di said again: "Lu Kai, the younger brother of the Yi clan, has the word Jingfeng, big ears, and is eight feet long. If the general guessed correctly, you are Lu Xun and Lu Boyan, right?!"

"How did you know?" Lu Xun also put on a surprised and bewildered expression: "I don't know who you are?"

Ma Di curled his lips, knowing that Lu Xun must have recognized him long ago, so he said with a smile:
"At Corporal Three."

"Brother Boyan, my own people, my own people..."

After all, she grabbed his hand and walked towards the carriage that Lu Meng was riding in.Lu Xun was half-believing, but Ma Di held his hand tightly, so he had no choice but to follow closely all the way.

When the two arrived in front of the car, Lu Meng's hurried voice came from inside: "Husband, is my brother here?"

"Yes!" Ma Su answered somewhat reluctantly.

"Oh, clan brother, you escaped and worried us so much..." Lu Meng opened the curtain while muttering, and bent down to get out of the carriage, her eyes passed over Ma Di, and then fixed on Lu Xun who was beside Ma Di.

Seeing the water-stained and embarrassed appearance of the clan brother, he was a little surprised for a while: "Clan brother, this is it?"

Lu Xun withdrew his hand, glanced at Ma Di, and said calmly: "I was in danger in the river, I accidentally fell into the water, it was my brother-in-law who rescued me."

The word "brother-in-law" seemed to be squeezed out of the jaw.

Lu Meng heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Ma Di, then bent down and gave Ma Di a deep salute: "Thank you, husband, for your help."

Ma Di was a little embarrassed by Lu Xun's implicative remarks, so he smiled: "Hehe, it's easy, it should, it should."

Lu Meng opened her eyes wide in confusion, and looked at the two of them again and again.She has already noticed that there is something wrong with the atmosphere between the two.

In view of Ma Di's previous convictions, Lu Meng glanced at her husband vigilantly, inserted her body between the two of them, and separated them.

Seeing Lu Meng's anti-thief posture, Ma Su smiled, but his smile was a little helpless.

Seeing that it was getting late, and today, no matter what, they would not be able to reach the main force of the Wu army on the west front, so they ordered the army to set up camp in place and stop for a while.

Lu Xun changed into ordinary clothes in the tent, walked to the east bank of the Xiangshui River, and said to Ma Di who was standing by the river looking into the distance:
"Ming people don't speak dark words, so you are Ma Su and Ma Youchang, right?"

Ma Su couldn't help being startled when someone called him out of identity. He suddenly turned his head and stared straight at Lu Xun, holding his sword tightly with his big hand, and the murderous aura surged up again, but he didn't say anything.

"You...Are you going to kill me?" Lu Xun's voice was suddenly full of panic, he shrank his neck and took two steps back, shaking violently all over his body.

Seeing Lu Xun's appearance, Ma Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that he was not afraid of him killing him. He was deliberately teasing him, so he said angrily: "It is said that Lu Xun is humble, polite, and highly respected. It seems that it is just a rumor. .”

Lu Xun did his part and choked back: "The estrangement made by the public has caused my Lu family to leave their homes and ruin their careers, but I still want to be grateful to you. Lu Xun admires, admires!"

Ma Su spread his hands together: "You may not believe it, the death of Lu Meng's second brother is purely a misunderstanding."

"That place is planning to marry my two daughters from the Lu family, and put my Lu family on the opposite side of the Wu country. Is this also a misunderstanding?" Lu Xun asked angrily.

The Lu family broke with Sun Quan this time, and the loss was too great.The family property left in Jiangdong and the many children of the Lu family all fell into Sun Quan's hands.Leaving aside those incomparably rich family properties, just those children of the same family who fell into Sun Quan's hands, if Sun Quan killed one a day, it would be enough to kill them for several months.

The source of all these catastrophes was caused by Ma Di.

And it's not the first time.

38 years ago, Sun Ce broke through the Lujiang River (195). At that time, nearly half of the Lu family members died because of Sun Ce, and Lu Xun's grandfather Lu Kang also died when the city fell.

Thinking of the fate of the Lu family, Lu Xun became very angry.

The Lu family just wanted to be a rich family, who did they provoke?First it was Sun Ce who came to make a slash, but now Ma Su was tricked, and it seemed that Sun Quan's other slash was about to come down.

"Cough, cough, brother Boyan, this is a long story. People in the Jianghu sometimes cannot help themselves."

Lu Xun's eyes widened angrily, and he said, "Tell me, I'll listen, I want to see what nonsense you can come up with!"

Since Lu Xun can't be killed clearly, we can only persuade him, win him over, and make him an enemy of Sun Quan.

But where to start?

With that, let's start with the justice of my own tricks.

Ma Di used his brain and thought quickly.

In fact, Lu Xun's end was already doomed, no matter whether he was involved in Sun Quan's abolition of the crown prince, he must die!Because it involves the long-term stability of the Sun family regime.

For Sun Quan in his later years, the absence of Lu Xun was more important than anything else.

Lu Xun was born in the Lu family, one of the four great families in Jiangdong (Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang), and these aristocratic families in Jiangdong were greatly influenced by Confucian culture and were loyal to the Han Dynasty.But at that time, the Han family was in chaos, and Yuan Shu wanted to fight for the world, so conflicts broke out with these families in Jiangdong.Yuan Shu ordered Sun Ce to attack Lujiang, and the prefect of Lujiang happened to be Lu Xun's grandfather Lu Kang.Although Lu Kang resisted fiercely, he couldn't hold back the overlord Sun Ce who was too strong. In the end, Lujiang was breached, Lu Kang died, and the Sun family and the Lu family also forged a big feud!

After Sun Ce leveled Jiangdong with strong force, those who refused to accept were killed with bloody means. All the people killed were those who could win the death of others, so that the big families hated Sun Ce very much, and eventually led to the assassination of Sun Ce event happened!
On the surface, Sun Ce's death was the work of Xu Gong's three disciples, but through the surface of the matter, it is not difficult to find that this matter has something to do with the major families in Jiangdong, especially the four major families.

On the surface, Sun Ce's death was very simple, because Xu Gong's three disciples avenged the head of the family, but in fact, how could Xu Gong's three disciples know Sun Ce's hunting route?How did they know when Sun Ce would go hunting?How can I ambush at the hunting location in advance?
This information is completely out of reach of ordinary people, and only people close to Sun Ce know it. That is to say, Xu Gong's three disciples have masterminds behind them, and there are more than one wave of masterminds.

Most people think that the people behind Xu Gong's Sanmenke are the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, but combined with Guo Jia's prediction of Sun Ce's death and the Battle of Chibi, most of Jiangdong's families tended to surrender, especially Zhang Zhao. Looking at it firmly, it is not difficult to guess that most of the rich families in Jiangdong may have hooked up with Cao Cao, who represents the Han Dynasty, from the very beginning.

Therefore, when Cao Cao was about to fight Yuan Shao at Guandu, worrying about the emptiness in the rear, Sun Ce died very "coincidentally".

For the great families in Jiangdong, the Sun family is an external force, and they will inevitably be opposed. Moreover, the Sun family is a Wuli clan, which is completely different from the Confucianism-based philosophy of the Jiangdong family, so the Jiangdong family has always looked down on the Sun family. .If the Sun family wants to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, they must suppress other aristocratic families, especially the four largest families in Jiangdong.

However, Sun Ce's methods, like his father Sun Jian's, were too violent and extreme.When the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian raised troops as the prefect of Changsha to respond to the princes. He went to Jingzhou and forced the governor of Jingzhou to death; he went to Nanyang and beheaded the prefect of Nanyang.It is completely a bandit style, wherever he goes, he can kill whoever he wants.

So, Sun Jian received the lunch box very quickly. Sun Ce acted in the same way as his father, and died in almost the same way.

Before Sun Ce died, he also guessed the identity of the person behind it, and realized the essence of "powerful force is easy to intimidate, but subjugation is difficult", so he chose Sun Quan, who has softer methods, to take the position, instead of letting someone with a similar personality like himself Other brothers or younger sons took over.

The death of his father and brother greatly inspired Sun Quan. After he came to power, he changed Sun Ce's high-pressure policy, and his methods were correspondingly softer. In the end, he succeeded in splitting up some aristocratic families, winning over some aristocratic families, and stabilizing the fundamentals of the Sun family.

However, this is only temporary stability. For Sun Quan, if the Sun family wants to rule Jiangnan for a long time, all four major families in Jiangdong must be suppressed!
As mentioned above, the four major families in Jiangdong are Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang. In the Jiyan case (224), Sun Quan dealt with Zhang Wen, which dealt a severe blow to the Zhang family’s power, and it was basically difficult to recover; the Yinfan case In the middle (230 AD), Sun Quan dealt with Zhu Ju, but he did not launch a large-scale attack on the entire Zhu family for the time being, but put it behind, because the Zhu family had more soldiers and could not be rushed for a while; (243), Sun Quan began to attack the Gu family again, which greatly reduced the power of the Gu family.

As of 243 A.D. in the original time and space, among the four major families, the Gu family, the Zhu family, and the Zhang family were all cleaned up by Sun Quan, leaving only the Lu family.

The talents of the Lu family are the most among the four major families, and the two prime ministers, five generals and ten generals are the true portrayal of the talents of the Lu family in the Sun Quan era.

Among them, the most prestigious one is naturally Lu Xun.

Therefore, in 244, one year after Gu Yong's death, Sun Quan attacked Lu Xun.

In essence, Sun Quan's action against Lu Xun was entirely because he wanted to attack the four major families in Jiangdong. He wanted the Sun family to enjoy long-term stability in Jiangdong and reduce the constraints of other families!

Lu Xun is not only Lu Kang's grandson, has a deadly feud with the Sun family, but also is the spokesperson of the Lu family, with huge family interests behind him. These two points alone are enough to make Sun Quan wary of him.In addition, Lu Xun also has the ability to be a general and a prime minister, his military ability is very strong, and his record is outstanding. If Lu Xun has the heart of disobedience, how can Sun Quan resist? !And the most important point is that Lu Xun is Sun Ce's son-in-law, and Sun Quan's position was given up by Sun Ce. If after Sun Quan's death, Lu Xun's heart is in the same vein as Sun Ce, then Sun Quan will have to work for nothing all his life.

If these four reasons are considered separately, none of them will make Sun Quan want to kill, but together, Lu Xun's [-] lives are not enough to kill.

Of course, as of now, there are only Gu and Lu remaining in the four major Jiangdong families, and they have not been cleaned up by Sun Quan yet.

Therefore, Ma Di cited the examples of the first two families, and told Lu Xun the above four "core reasons why Sun Quan must move the Lu family".

Come to think of it, the words are so obvious, with Lu Xun's political consciousness, it is impossible not to see the danger in it.

At the end, Ma Su patted his chest and said earnestly, "I have come to Jiaozhou not to drive a wedge between the Duke and Sun Quan, but to save you from a desperate situation."

"It's just that there was a little mistake in the operation process, which led to the death of Lu Meng's second brother. I feel deeply guilty about this. Besides, my sincerity to the Lu family can be shown to the sun and the moon."

A word to wake up the dreamer.

After listening to this sensible analysis, Lu Xun was stunned.

He felt that every sentence Ma Su said was reasonable, and he grasped human nature so well that it was irrefutable.Sun Quan carried out a gentle weakening of the four major families just as Ma Su described.

However, Lu Xun didn't fully believe Ma Di, but asked again: "I see you want to kill me, how can you explain this?"

"Well..." Ma Su used his brain quickly and explained: "When you came out of the water, you didn't tell me by your real name. I was afraid that you were a spy of the Wu army, so I wanted to get rid of you. Brother Boyan, this is very logical and reasonable. Bar?"

"Reasonable." Lu Xun nodded: "Then just this time, how do you explain it?"

Ma Su said without hesitation: "This time it was purely a misunderstanding. Due to various reasons, my true identity has never been disclosed to the two ladies. I am suddenly called out by you. It is inevitable that I will overreact...Brother Boyan, this It's logical and reasonable, right?"

"Reasonable." Lu Xun cupped his hands, "After hearing what you said, I knew that I had fallen into the abyss. I am so grateful."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, a family doesn't talk about two different languages."

Ma Di waved his hands and smiled, seeing Lu Xun standing by the river, lost in thought, turned back to his handsome tent.

As soon as she entered the tent, she suddenly felt that the light had dimmed. Lu Meng sat kneeling on the blanket, staring wide-eyed with her big bright eyes.

Ma Di was secretly startled, and looked at Lu Meng carefully, but he didn't see any murderous look in her eyes, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, moved over slowly, knelt down opposite her, and took out a thick and long... …

light the candle,

Then quietly looked at her.

By candlelight, Ma Su could see clearly what Lu Meng was wearing. She had a widow's dish hairstyle on her head, and she didn't wear much on her body. Red, seems to have just cried.

Ma Di panicked for a moment, but this emotion quickly disappeared. He carefully reviewed his recent actions and found no flaws.

The most important thing is that he saw a strong love-hate relationship in Lu Meng's eyes.

that's enough.

Ma Su put the candlestick aside, took half a step back, knelt down in front of Lu Meng with a "plop", squeezed out two tears, and sobbed: "Madam, I'm sorry... Chang You, but called You Chang."

Since Lu Meng was also kneeling, the two of them touched their knees, as if they were praying to heaven and earth.

Lu Meng's voice was also a little crying: "Is there anything else?"

"No, no more..."

As soon as the words fell, Ma Su felt his eyes go dark.

The entire face was surrounded by two lumps of unknown objects.
