Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 662 Jiangdong Qiao Clan
Although Luo Chu was young, he was smart and he could tell at a glance that Sun Jian's goal was to take control of Jiangdong.

But even Luo Chu had heard of Sun Jian's bravery and character. Putting such a fierce tiger in Jiangdong would be a blessing or a curse.

Luo Chu only drank with Sun Jian, but did not answer his questions, so the banquet ended like this.

Looking at Luo Chu leaving, Sun Jian felt quite helpless, but could only sigh with emotion, "When Master Chu enters Jiangdong, the connection between the surnames will be as solid as iron, so what should we do?"

After Luo Chu and Sun Jian left, they frowned deeply as soon as they boarded the ship.

Jiangdong is fertile and ownerless.

The primary goal of the Yuan Shu Group, which is located in the upper reaches of the Huai River, is to occupy Huai Si, but Jiangdong is behind Huai Si. The Yuan Shu Group will definitely seek to enter here. Without Sun Jian, there will be Wang Jian and Li Jian.

"Uncle Qiao Shi is unwilling to rely on the warlord? Or do you have other considerations?"

Without seeing Qiao Wei, Luo Chu could only guess his motives through limited information.

The big ship went all the way down the river from Jiujiang to Wu County. As soon as it entered the boundary of Wu County, the prosperous scene that hit us was far better than Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou. The war in the Central Plains has not yet reached here, and it has not yet encountered Taipei. There are so many wars, that's why there is such a scene.

Although Confucian classics were handed down in Jiangzuo, they gradually developed their own system of criticism because they were excluded from the circle of Confucian scholars in the Central Plains.

In addition, there are remnants of ancient Chu culture in Jiangzuo. After hundreds of schools of Buddhism and Taoism were spread here, everything changed.

When Luo Chu entered Wu County, he went straight to Wu County. In Jiangdong, Wu County was still called the old name——Gusu.

The first surname of Wu County is also self-proclaimed, with the sixth surname of Gusu and the highest surname of Jiangdong.

Qiao Wei, who had been waiting for Luo Chu for a long time, sent his retainers to greet him. Soon he entered Qiao's garden, where he saw pavilions, pavilions, flowers, birds and landscapes everywhere, which were harmonious and natural, and very elegant.

"The scenery of Jiangdong, with its beautiful mountains and rivers, is really unforgettable."

Luo Chu walked into the pavilion and couldn't help but sigh, and then he heard a voice with a smile, "Since my nephew likes the scenery of Jiangdong, wouldn't it be nice to stay in the land of Jiangdong?"

Luo Chu turned around and looked at where the sound came from, and saw a rather elegant middle-aged man walking into the pavilion. It was Qiao Wei, the head of the Qiao family, with a gentle smile on his face.

Luo Chu hurriedly saluted and said, "My nephew pays respects to Uncle Shi."

Qiao Wei glanced at Luo Chu. He hadn't seen him for several years. As expected, Luo Chu was no longer what he used to be. He had a handsome appearance. He had been to Jiangzuo several times. Such romantic figures were rare. With similar figures, Qiao Wei remembered the Lujiang Zhou family. There is a child.

The two of them sat down, Luo Chu poured tea for them, Qiao Wei smiled and said: "You have been full of dust all the way, so today I will take care of you first, and then I will prepare a family banquet for you at home.

The next day, Uncle Shi will gather the disciples from Gusu for you. Nowadays, there is a popular banquet in Jiangdong called "Qushui Shang".

The children of various families in Jiangdong, both male and female, were all seated at the banquet. Then I would introduce all the people to you. "

Luo Chu thanked him. He knew that Qiao Wei wanted to expose himself in front of the Jiangdong family.

This kind of meandering drinking banquet may usually be just for fun, but once a banquet organized by a noble leader like Qiao Wei can stand out, it will skyrocket. And Qiao Wei also said that there are men and women, so it is very likely that it will become a A meeting of marriages between families.

The meaning of Qiao Wei's words was obvious. He was convening the conference for his own sake, so he was the worthy protagonist.

He couldn't help but wonder why this level of display was not used on the children of the Qiao family?
Qiao Wei said leisurely with a hint of emotion: "My nephew, these days when you have been in Jiangdong, how do you feel about the characters in Jiangdong?"

Luo Chu smiled and said: "I just feel that the children of Jiangdong are so talented and the women of Jiangdong are also gentle and lovely, like the spring breeze blowing on the willows."

Qiao Wei smiled when he heard this, but Luo Chu saw a trace of worry from his brows, so he took the initiative to ask: "Uncle Shi, is there anything you are worried about?"

Qiao Wei said softly: "The world is full of chaos, can the Jiangdong land be alone?
There are many talented children in Jiangdong, but I have never had any children who can carry the great cause. How can this not make me feel worried?
Have you seen that Sun Jian? "

Luo Chu nodded, and Qiao Wei said: "In the past, Marquis Qingji of Wu was the king, and the grandson of the sages was the prime minister, so the Sun family multiplied in Jiangdong.

However, a thousand years have passed, and the Sun family has long been in ruins. Even the genealogical and ancestral halls were destroyed in the flames of war. Now they are just a poor family.

Although Sun Jian was born in a poor family, he was an extraordinary person. He was known as the Tiger of the East of the Yangtze River.

He is the best general in the world. Not only Sun Jian, but also the governor of Danyang is also an outstanding person. There are outstanding people in all the counties of Yangzhou, Jiujiang, Lujiang, Yuzhang and Danyang.

Who among these people doesn't want to enter Wu County and control the Yangzhou separatist regime? "

Luo Chu knew what Qiao Wei was worried about. These were troubled times, and it was a time for heroes to show their talents. These warlords began to choose their own places to live.

The six surnames of Wu County have outstanding reputation and great power, but in terms of outstanding figures, there are no top disciples who can maintain the peace of Jiangdong.Luo Chu pondered for a moment and asked: "Uncle Shi, are you still worried about the Three Mutual Methods?

If my nephew dares to be brave, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will never be restored. It is only right for each family to keep its own territory.

Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou, died in the Taiping Uprising. His adopted son Lu Bu was originally the chief secretary, but now he takes charge of Bingzhou as shepherd.

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is an arrogant man. He is not only the master of Youzhou, but also serves as a military officer and controls the power of Youzhou. I am afraid that he will soon have a conflict with Youzhou Mu and take charge of Youzhou Mu.

These three mutual laws exist in name only, so why didn’t Shishu recommend the younger generation as the master? "

Hearing this, Qiao Wei shook his head and said, "It is difficult to be an assistant minister. How can it be easy to be the master of a place in troubled times? There is no one among the six surnames in Wu County who can take on such a big responsibility."

Turning a family into a country is the ultimate goal of most families.

But everyone knows the risks of turning a family into a country. If it fails, the person who will die will not be 01:30.

The humble family has nothing, so they have to start a business and strive to be the first. Once they succeed, they will turn around instantly.

For example, the Liu family, although the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, in fact, there were branches of the Liu family among the gentry in every state and county in the world.

Even the Luo family couldn't compare to this. Only the Liu family granted lordships and kings to various places, and then left behind countless branch families.

Rich families are different from humble families. Most of the rich families are only willing to invest in order to continue to be rich. If they fail to succeed, they will sacrifice the head of the family. The family is always fine. There are very few people like the Yuan family who end up personally.

Luo Chu frowned slightly.

According to Qiao Wei, with the current situation in Wu County, it is inevitable for foreign warlords to take over. However, warlords are definitely not here to be puppets. They must bring their own power, at least to check and balance the local nobles.

Yuan Shao started his career with the help of the Yingchuan nobles. Cao Cao was Yuan Shao's younger brother and also received help from the Yingchuan nobles. When the Yingchuan nobles arrived in Hebei, they would naturally seize the position of the Hebei people.

However, Yuan Shao was very capable and well balanced. The Hebei gentry held the official positions in the department, and Xun Chen, the leader of the Yingchuan gentry, served as the mastermind. Moreover, with Yuan Shao's coordination, he was able to exert his strength in one place and reap the benefits.

The nobles are very powerful, but in fact they are not as omnipotent as imagined. As long as the chessboard is not overturned, the nobles will basically not lose. But once the warlord decides to overturn the chessboard, the best outcome for the nobles will be It's a lose-lose situation.

Even a top wealthy family like the Yuan family has to keep a low profile when facing Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo may turn the entire Yuan family into ashes at any time. No matter how high the reputation is, no matter how many disciples and old officials are there, it will all be in vain if there are no people.

What Qiao Wei is worried about is that if they encounter a warlord who is incompetent, cruel and murderous, and has no foresight, the Wujun nobles will be in misery.

Either the local gentry will be massacred, or the political situation will be divided. No matter which one, the six surnames will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Luo Chu had a little guess that Qiao Wei either wanted him to be the lord of Jiangdong, or he hoped to use Luo Chu to connect the six surnames to fight against the warlords who would invade Jiangdong in the future.

In the end, he chose a warlord who had the vision to cooperate across states and counties. In other words, Qiao Wei hoped that Luo Chu would become Yangzhou Mu.

He knew that the Luo family was not a king, but being a shepherd of Yangzhou did not necessarily mean fighting for the world. For example, being the governor of Jiaozhou, who would think that he would fight for the world?
Just protect the land and bring peace to the people. When the Central Plains is settled, just donate it directly. In this way, Yangzhou will not have to face the flames of war, and both the nobles and the people can be preserved.

It's not just the gentry in Wujun who think so, but most of the gentry in the world think so.

Only the nobles in Guanzhong, Sanhe, Runan, Yingchuan, and Hebei always wanted to assist the Holy Lord and unify the world.

Luo Chu pondered, and Qiao Wei knew that Luo Chu could definitely guess what he meant. He was very clear about the intelligence of the young man in front of him. He had already had a strange plan a few years ago, and after learning it in the past few years, he would definitely be more terrifying.

"Uncle Shi, my nephew probably knows what you are thinking.

But Jiangdong is different from Jingchu. If you want to achieve success in Jingchu, you must control Yizhou and Hanzhong. Jingchu alone cannot achieve success.

Jiangdong is different. Once you get Huaisi and Jiangdong, you can achieve the emperor's foundation here!
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Huaisi has been a key point of contention among various princes.

However, any princes who capture Huaisi will never go north to fight for the world. Instead, they will go down the Huaihe River to Jiangdong and demand Jiangdong's surrender.

If Jiangdong in turn controls Huaisi, then Jiangdong may not only be limited to defending the land and tranquilizing the people, but also going north to compete for the world. "

Qiao Wei sighed deeply when he heard this. He had to admit that Luo Chu's analysis was correct, and his previous ideas were still a bit too simple.

----

When Chu went down to the east of the Yangtze River, Qiaowei greeted him. The two sat down to discuss it. Qiaowei asked him about fighting in the east of the Yangtze River. Chu Zong discussed the nine states and said categorically: "The heroes who sit down to seize the southeast will fight endlessly!" - "Book of Wu· Yuzhang County Duke Family"
