The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6 The Aristocratic Family and Xu Gong's Conspiracy
In the reception hall of the Gu family in Wu County, Gu Yong listened to Lu Heng's analysis of the world's major events in an orderly and well-founded manner.

His eyes became brighter and brighter, he stepped forward to support Lu Heng and bowed solemnly and said: "Yunlong, the Gu family will fully support Yunlong with the Lu family's leadership, and the minister Gu Yong has met the lord."

[The system detects that the host has obtained Gu Yong's allegiance to a single attribute exceeding 90, rewarding 15 prestige points, and the current prestige value is 90]

Lu Heng was overjoyed when he heard that Gu Yong was willing to be loyal and said: "Haha, Heng's brother-in-law is Heng's Xiao He. The three families of Lu, Gu and Zhu are just like the families of Cao and Xiahou.

As long as the Lu and Gu families together with the Zhu family must agree, my brother-in-law, I have been in Lujiang for a long time, and I will ask my brother-in-law to introduce the current situation in Wujun and Jiangdong. "

Gu Yong cupped his hands and replied: "Yunlong, now Wujun and Jiangdong are in great turmoil, let me first say that the prefect of Wujun is a branch of Xu Gongrunan's Xu family.

This person succeeded the famous scholar Sheng Xian as the prefect last year, and his subordinates were good at raising the dead.

Moreover, this person colluded with Yan Baihu, the powerful commander of Shanyue in Wuxing Nei Shicheng Mountain on the edge of Wu County, so that he could become the prefect of Wu County.

There are two county lieutenants in Wujun, each with different forces.

One is that Ruo Rong was originally under the command of Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and he was the Minister of the Xiapi Kingdom and was sent to Wu County by Liu Yao recently.

This person is cunning, cruel, unfaithful and capricious by nature, and loves Buddhism very much.

When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Ruo Rong did not rescue Tao Qian but led his troops south to seek refuge in Guangling County. The prefect Zhao Yu regarded Ruo Rong as a distinguished guest and held a grand banquet for Ruo Rong and his deployment.

When Zerong saw the Wufu Minfeng in Guangling County, he couldn't help being moved, so he killed Zhao Yu, and ordered his soldiers to kill and burn Guangling County.

He took his soldiers and subordinates, and plundered the property of Guangling County, and went south to join Xue Li, the prefect of Moling. Ze Rong was recommended by Xue Li to Yangzhou Mu Liuxu.

Ruo Rong and Xue Li came to Yangzhou to defect to Yangzhou. State Shepherd Liu Yao feared to follow in Zhao Yu's footsteps, so he sent Ruo Rong and his tribe to Wu County to contain Xu Gong, Yan Baihu and our Jiangdong gentry.

The second is Ling Cao, a native of Yuhang, Wujun, who was a famous ranger in Wujun in his early years.

Chivalrous and courageous, he is a member of my family. There are five hundred soldiers in the county under his command. As for the master of Wu County, the county magistrate, and the meritorious officials, they are all controlled by major families. "

Gu Yong paused for a while, took a sip of tea, and introduced: "As for the Jiangdong forces from the north of Danyang County to Qu'a, Liu Yao controls the line, and the south of Danyang is Shanyue Zulang.

The northern part of Wujun is in the hands of our Jiangdong gentry, and the southern part of Wujun is controlled by Wuxing Mountain Yueyan Baihu, and most of the officials in other counties abandoned their posts and fled.

As for Kuaiji County and Yuzhang County in the south, they are controlled by Wang Lang and Zhu Hao respectively, and in the south there are a few forces such as Wang Sheng, Zou Ta, and Qian Tong. "

After listening to the introduction, Lu Heng secretly wondered, Jiangdong's strength is quite different from the history, how did Ruo Rong come to Wu County?Where did Zhu Zhi go?
Let's not talk about Zhu Zhi first, just talk about Ruo Rong. I remember that Ruo Rong was not a small person in history. This person loved Buddhism and played a pivotal role in the development and promotion of Buddhism in the Celestial Dynasty.

Ruo Rong embezzled money and food from the three counties in Xuzhou without authorization, built Buddhist temples wantonly, made Buddha statues with copper, painted the Buddha body with melted gold, unified the monks' clothing, and built a pagoda that can accommodate more than [-] people to study Buddhist scriptures. Mu, the establishment of wine and meals spans tens of miles, costing tens of thousands of dollars, and it was founded by folks who built Buddhist temples and performed Buddhist services in the Han Dynasty.

But these bald believers are not good things either.

In history, after Ruo Rong took refuge in Liu Yao, he was sent to Yuzhang to use Ruo Rong's characteristics to kill his political opponent Zhu Hao. After Liu Yao was defeated by Sun Ce and fled to Yuzhang, he immediately turned his back on him and killed Ruo Rong. Yuzhang County.

This one-handed killing with a knife can be said to be a textbook method of operation. If it weren't for Liu Yao's military talent, he was really not good, and he didn't have the ability to recognize people. Do something.

Liu Yao originally controlled Danyang County, and then controlled Yuzhang County, where the two counties were located.

It is not impossible to win over the Jiangdong gentry and destroy Yan Baihu to control Wu County and Kuaiji County, and become the second Liu Biao!

It's a pity that I lost to a beast! (Sun Ce)

But now that Ruo Rong is here in Wu County, it seems that Liu Yao wants to deal with the Jiangdong gentry.

Zhu Zhi didn't know where to go, the butterfly effect of Lu's return to Wu County had already begun to appear.

Lu Heng thought for a while and said to Gu Yong: "In this case, the most urgent task is to control the entire territory of Wu County first.

Prefect Xu Gong has no soldiers to worry about, he only needs to pay attention to the assassins that Xu Gong raises.

First, wipe out the white tiger that is more severe in the mountain and uproot Zuo Rong from Wu Commandery.

Now that brother-in-law has agreed to unite, choose a date to entertain the Zhu and Zhang families and then meet Xu Gong and Ze Rong."

After talking about the business, the family enjoyed themselves happily, and Lu Juan hadn't seen the three brothers chatting non-stop for many years, let alone mentioning it for the time being.

————————————————————————

Late at night, they each went back to their rooms to rest. Gu Yong returned to the bedroom to prepare for bed. He saw his wife sitting on the bedside and asked softly: "Husband, thank you very much for helping the Lu family today. I was born in troubled times. My husband is a great talent in the world, and he has not served as an official. Now I worship my second brother Yunlong as the master."

Seeing his wife's question, Gu Yong replied: "Madam, there is no need to be like this. There are three reasons why you worship Yunlong as your husband, and it's not just for the Lu family.

First, Yunlong has great aspirations and even won against Sun Ce several times at a disadvantage. At critical moments, there are always noble people to help. At this time, the master with great luck will make extraordinary achievements in the future.

The Gu family's ability to unite with the Lu family is in line with the current situation, not to mention Yunlong's analysis of the general trend of the world is so clear. When he was a man of great intelligence and love and righteousness since he was a child, when he broke through the siege of Lujiang, he did not forget that the resettlement of the people must be a benevolent master in the future.

Secondly, the Lu family in Jiangdong was originally the leader of Jiangdong, and Yunlong was the Qilin son of the Lu family.

The Jiangdong gentry has always been xenophobic. Back then, the Sun family (Sun Jian) ​​wanted to integrate into Jiangdong for a long time, and the Jiangdong gentry had been feared by the Han Dynasty for a long time.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the northern gentry has been heavily used, and only a few of the Jiangdong gentry entered the court and held high positions.

But Yunlong is different. If you want to be in the world, you may not be able to be like Xiang Yu's current situation as Yunlong said. Being born in the Lu family is a natural advantage.

Third, Yuan Shu is a man of great success and extravagance. If he becomes the ruler of Jiangdong, it will be a disaster for Jiangdong and the gentry of Jiangdong.

The Sun family was not originally from our Jiangdong, Sun Jian was just a perfunctory pawn sent by the Jiangdong gentry back then.

If you get Jiangdong's full support, why rely on Yuan Shu and die in Jingzhou? If Sun Ce enters Jiangdong, he will definitely anger the four major families in Jiangdong.

In view of the husband, Sun Ce is not a broad-minded person, and the Gu family and the Lu family are too involved for fear of settling accounts in the future. "

Lu Juan gently hugged her husband and fell asleep and said, "Even so, I still want to thank you, husband."

In fact, there is one thing that Gu Yong did not tell his wife clearly that the Lu family can lead the Jiangdong gentry to compete in the Central Plains.

Victory means that the Jiangdong gentry will win the world and become known to the world. Although the Gu family will lose, it will not hurt. For Gu Yong, it may not be impossible to reach a higher level, and it can be said to be invincible.

————————————————————————

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the prefect's mansion of Wujun, Xu Gong and his disciples are having a banquet for Ruo Rong in the prefect's mansion.

"Brother Ruo Rong must have heard that the Lu family, the leader of the Jiangdong gentry, has returned to Wu County, so the balance between us and the Jiangdong gentry will definitely be broken. This is a troubled time!"

Ruo Rong raised his hand without thinking, but said: "Yes! I heard that Lu Heng, the second son of the Lu family, not only stunned Sun Ce by scolding him, but also broke out from the encirclement of Sun Ce's army.

This Lu family is originally the top gentry in Jiangdong. It is powerful and has many marriages with other families. I am afraid that Liu Shijun (Liu Yao) will not be able to complete the order~~"

Xu Gong asked casually: "Oh? What is the important matter of Liu Shijunling's elder brother coming to Wu County?"

Ze Rong replied: "Then Sun Ce breached the Lujiang River, which is only one river away from Danyang County. Liu Shijun feared that Sun Ce intended to send Zhang Ying and Fan Neng to garrison the riverside to defend Yuan Shu.

Wu Jing and Sun Ben were originally members of the Sun family. They were appointed by Yuan Shu to serve in Jiangdong, and the envoy forced them to station in Jiangbei.

Liu Shijun also ordered XX and his brothers to garrison Piling to guard against Sun Ce, but fearing that XX's troops were too small, and Shijun learned that Yan Baihu, the commander of Wu County, had tens of thousands of mercenaries, he specially ordered XX to contact Yan Baihu to jointly resist Yuan Shu.

A certain man heard that Taishou Xu had an old relationship with Yan Baihu, so he came to visit the prefect, hoping that Yan Shuai (Yan Baihu) would give Xu Taishou a favor and send troops to help him in time.

However, Yan Shuai sent troops to help through Wu County, but Wu County is actually in the hands of those gentry, and he will definitely not let Yan Shuai pass by, so what to do~ what to do~"

Ruo Rong is cunning, deliberately mentioning that Xu Gong has no military power in Wu County, intending to provoke Xu Gong and the Jiangdong gentry, and at the same time mentioning his old relationship with Yan Baihu, implying that this power can be borrowed.

Hearing Ruo Rong's words, Xu Gong cursed secretly in his heart, suddenly came up with a plan and said, "Brother Ruo doesn't know, this Jiangdong gentry has always been xenophobic, and my brother Yu made things difficult when he followed Sheng Xian in his early years.

Last year that guy Sheng Xian left his post due to illness, and my brother Yu was favored by the court to take over as the prefect of Wu County, but those old men from the Jiangdong gentry just looked down on me and other northerners.

The chief secretary, the county magistrate, and the meritorious Cao are all Jiangdong scholars. The most hated man Ling Cao relied on the support of five hundred county soldiers and the Gu family and never listened to the order of the foolish brother. Only then did the foolish brother support those dead men and contact the Shanyue Yanbaihu In order to protect themselves.

Yu Di has a plan that can defeat the old men of the Jiangdong gentry. It can not only open up the way for Yan Baihu to help Brother Ze, but also get rid of Ling Cao. This can be said to kill three birds with one stone, but Brother Ze's full help is needed to achieve this. "

Ruo Rong was curious that Xu Gong had such a strategy and asked, "Oh? Xu Taishou plans to come out? Ruo is all ears!"

As soon as Xu Gong waved his hand, he said in detail: "I heard that Lu Heng, the second son of the Lu family, does not have any official position but has extraordinary ability to command the army, so I can recommend that Lu Heng to the imperial court as Xiaolian and appoint him as the county captain of Wujun!
Lu Heng is young and energetic, so he and Ling Cao send troops to encircle and suppress the Yan Baihu.

At the same time, Brother Lao Ze will lead his troops to send troops together because of the lack of troops in Wu County. Brother Yu can write a letter to Yan Baihu and order him to set up an ambush at a dangerous place during the march.

Lu Heng and Ling Cao lie in ambush, and Brother Ruo will turn against each other to save all his achievements.

After the matter is completed, Brother Zuo can join Yan Baihu to massacre the Lu family, and all the property will be divided equally between Brother Zuo and Yan Baihu. How about this plan? "

After hearing Xu Gong's overall deployment, Zuo Rong thought to himself: "When the time comes, I will counterattack and not only kill Lu Heng and Ling Cao, but also kill Yan Baihu and annex the power. Not only will the Lu family be slaughtered with blood, but Wu County will also have no troops and will belong to me." How happy it is.”

Prefect Xu has a good plan, and Ruo wishes Prefect Xu to take control of the power of Wu County in advance!

Ruo will definitely help each other with all his strength, and the two looked at each other and laughed and each had their own ghosts. The detailed agreement between the two will not be mentioned for the time being.

*****************************************
Let's say that Lu Heng stayed at Gu's house for a few days and returned to Lu's house.

First, I personally drew the drawings of iron pots and shovels, and asked my eldest brother Lu Jun to build several iron pots in the newly built blacksmith shop. There are various sizes of iron pots for cooking and tea.

At the same time, he asked the tea farmers in the elder brother's family not to steam tea after picking next year, and asked the tea pickers to pick tea according to the description of the tea frying process in the Song Dynasty written by him.

He also ordered a batch of high-quality porcelain from the Zhang family, and the inscriptions on them all had poems requested by his brother-in-law Gu Yongna.

Although Lu Jun didn't know what the younger brother was going to do, he trusted his younger brother and followed suit.

Then he personally wrote a greeting card, agreeing to invite the heads of the Gu, Zhu, and Zhang families to a banquet three days later, stating that he must come to the Lu family in person to discuss important matters.

Three days later, the weather was just right, and the early winter sun shone on the body, giving some warmth to alleviate the winter cold.

The Lu family threw a big banquet. Lu Heng's generals and retainers all arrived, and the eldest brother was the busiest.

Several little kids were running around the house with runny noses.

By the way, brother-in-law Gu Yong also brought his sons Gu Shao and Gu Mu.

Gu Shao, who is 11 years old this year, has a very good relationship with Lu Yi, and they are now taking care of all the little kids together.

The old father Lu Kang was still sick in bed, but after being diagnosed by a famous doctor, although he didn't improve, his complexion improved a lot, and the heads of all the families came to visit him.

Gu Yong and his wife Lu Juan came early in the morning and brought Ling Cao along.

The eldest sister couldn't help crying when she saw her father. It took a long time for her brother-in-law to persuade her, and now she is talking about the past with her mother.

Soon the eldest brother asked his servants to report that the Zhu family had come.

The Zhu family and the Lu family are also very close. Zhu Tao's mother and Lu Heng's mother are sisters.

Zhu Tao is Lu Heng's cousin, and Zhu Tao's son, Zhu Huan, who is one year older than Lu Heng this year, is Lu Heng's nephew, so Zhu Tao brought Zhu Huan to visit Lu Kang early.

The Lu family entertained Gu, Zhu, and Zhang's family, and the hall was very busy with people coming and going.

In the study, the three brothers Lu Heng, Lu Jun, and Lu Yi, Gu Yong, Gu Shao, Zhu Tao, and Zhu Huan were seated respectively, and the core figures of the three Jiangdong masters gathered in this small study.

Seeing that everyone was due, Lu Heng got straight to the point and said, "I invited my cousin here today to discuss something important, and the world has entered a chaotic world.

Jiangdong can't be alone, and Yuan Shu will definitely send people to attack Jiangdong next year.

The leader was probably Sun Ce, and Heng had discussed with his brother-in-law that Lu and Gu would join forces to resist Yuan Shu and preserve Jiangdong.

Cousin must have heard about the grievances between the Lu family and Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, and hoped to help. "

Gu Yong also took a step forward and said: "Yong, Yunlong has been worshiped as the master, and the Gu family will fully support Yunlong.

Now Lu and Gu jointly recruited troops to fight against Yuan Shu, Yangzhou Mu Liuyou is not good at military affairs, and it depends on the Sun family to stabilize Qu'a.

Now, if the Sun family hadn't been expelled, the war would have started already in winter.

Yuan Shu must have heard that Zihong (Zhu Tao's style name is Zihong) is not a hero.

Whether it is a disaster or a blessing to be in charge of Jiangdong, Wang Zihong thinks twice. "

Zhu Tao's father and son looked at each other. What surprised them was not that Lu and Gu were united, nor were they preparing to fight against Yuan Shu.

What surprised Zhu Tao was that Gu Yong actually worshiped Lu Heng as the master!

They admired Gu Yong's talent very much, and they also knew the reason why Gu Yong refused to become a prince easily.

It's just because there are many heroes nowadays, but most of them are in the north and have no time to take care of Jiangdong. Tao Qian from Xuzhou, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Liu Yao from Yangzhou are not heroes and Gu Yong disdains to be an official.

However, being an official of Lu Heng means that it is not just as simple as uniting several self-protection companies.

Zhu Tao said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Yunlong and Yuan Tan's intention is not just to protect themselves and Jiangdong."

Lu Heng said frankly: "Cousin has good eyesight, and he protects himself in Jiangdong just for the moment. It may not be impossible to dominate Jiangbei and compete with the heroes of the world."

Zhu Tao pointed at Lu Heng and scolded with a smile: "Good you Yunlong, it's sure that my Zhu family will join your thief ship!
You kid is still so shrewd, isn't it too difficult to dominate Jiangdong with only the Lu and Gu families?

You kid has been eyeing your cousin and me for a long time, otherwise the Zhang family will have a hard time! "

Seeing Zhu Tao's statement, Lu Heng smiled confidently: "So cousin agreed to join forces!
Ha ha!The Lu, Gu, and Zhu families joined forces with the Zhang family, even if they were unwilling, they would not oppose it openly. Although the Zhang family is not as close as my three families, they still have contacts.

What's more, this matter is beneficial to the Zhang family and will not be a hindrance. "

Zhu Tao pointed to Lu Heng with a smile on his face and said: "If I don't agree, Yunlong, you won't move out your aunt? Haha!

In this way, I will let Huan'er lead the clan's infantry to hand over to Yunlong!
In addition, ten building ships, thirty other warships, five thousand sets of armor and weapons, and two hundred bows and crossbows were taken away and handed over to Yunlong first! "

Jiangdong's top gentry basically monopolized all walks of life in Jiangdong. Although each family has a large number of fertile land, they still have their own main business.

The Lu family's main business is grain, tea, salt and other necessities.

The wine produced by the Gu family has the imperial court's exclusive right to make wine!

Restaurants are all over Jiangdong. In addition to wine making, cloth and silk are also the main industries of the Gu family (so Lu and Gu have a very close relationship from generation to generation).

The Zhu family basically monopolized shipbuilding, casting, and berthing.

There are many river systems in the south, the north, the horse, and the east of the river. The shipbuilding industry is very developed, and it is possible to do business across the sea to Liaodong, Youzhou, and Qingzhou.

As for Zhang's main production of porcelain, Suzhou embroidery and so on.

Although they are all in the top families, there is still a gap between the Lu, Gu and Zhu families.

Now that the three top gentry families in Jiangdong are joining forces, Zhu Tao has a little judgment in his heart. This time the three families joining forces is also an opportunity for my Zhu family...
