During the years when Gan Ning took refuge with Sun Quan, Sun Quan always wanted to adjust his relationship with Ling Tong, but it was only at the end of the adjustment that Sun Quan realized that he had made useless efforts.

At this time, the two of them looked at Sun Quan's angry look in front of them, they both closed their mouths, and then retreated to the side, each of them fell silent.

Looking at the quiet two people at this time, Sun Quan felt a little better, then looked at Lu Su who was silent at the side, and said to Lu Su calmly: "Zijing, do you think I should agree?" Do not agree to Bai Zifu's request for a contract battle!"

Lu Su lowered his head, thought for a while, and then looked at Sun Quan in front of him calmly. At this time, Lu Su could see that Sun Quan really wanted to agree to Bai Zifu's appointment. Lu Su hesitated for a while. , said to Sun Quan in a calm tone: "I think I should agree. After all, our army has already gained the upper hand. If we can successfully defeat Bai Zifu's army in the battle, or capture Bai Zifu alive, then Shouchun City If we don't attack, our army can easily win the land of Huainan."

"Zijing is right!" Sun Quan said with joy when he heard what Lu Su said. After all, what Lu Su said was exactly what Sun Quan thought.

"Everyone, do you disagree?" Seeing that none of the civil and military men around stood up, Sun Quan stroked his beard and said calmly to the civil and military men around him.

Lu Meng was standing on his seat at this time, looking at Sun Quan, who looked a little happy, stroking his beard, thinking in his heart whether he should persuade Sun Quan to refuse, but he couldn't think of anything wrong with the engagement. .

"Marquis Wu, I think I should refuse!" At this moment, a young man with a refined complexion walked out from among the generals. He looked at Sun Quan who was sitting on the main seat, and said to Sun Quan in a soft tone.

Hearing this voice, Sun Quan immediately raised his head, looked at the elegant young man in front of him, and asked him calmly, "Bo Yan, do you think there is something wrong?"

"I think Bai Zifu is full of tricks, and I'm afraid there is fraud in it. It's better for Marquis Wu to refuse." Lu Xun looked at Sun Quan in front of him calmly, and then said to Sun Quan in a calm tone.

"There is fraud, Bo Yan is too worried. Even if Bai Zifu is fraudulent, can his current troops deal with so many people in our army?" Sun Quan listened to Lu Xun's persuasive words in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes Some of them looked at Lu Xun with displeasure and said.

Sun Quan knew that the relationship between Lu Xun and Bai Ren was actually very good. When Sun Ce and Sun Quan met Bai Ren for the first time in Lujiang, Lu Xun was by Bai Ren's side. Sun Quan naturally knew that the relationship between the two was very good. Now Lu Xun's In Sun Quan's view, persuasion was nothing more than giving Bai Ren a chance.

Lu Xun looked at Sun Quan's displeased gaze, and could only sigh helplessly, and said to Sun Quan in a calm tone, "What Marquis Wu said is true, but I didn't think carefully about it."

Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun's resigned appearance in front of him, and immediately showed a slight smile, and then said to Lu Xun calmly, "Bo Yan, if that's the case, you should go to Shouchun City in person when the time comes, and return the news of my agreement." Give it to Bai Ren!"

"Yes!" Lu Xun nodded helplessly after hearing what Sun Quan said in front of him.

Chapter 721 Talking about Sun Quan

Bai Ren was sitting on his seat, next to Jia Xu and Pang Tong, and in the hall was Lu Xun who was sent by Sun Quan to inform Bai Ren.

Standing in the lobby, Lu Xun looked at the vigorous Bai Ren who was sitting on the main seat, and couldn't help but sigh that his brother had become the pillar of the sky.

Looking at the ugly Pang Tong with a calm smile next to Bai Ren, his complexion suddenly became a little heavy, his eyeballs rolled a little, and it suddenly became clear. I didn't expect Pang Tong who was at Zhou Yu's side to make plans to deal with Cao Cao It turned out to be his brother's man.

"Bo Yan, I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for a long time. What's the matter with you this time?" Bai Ren sat on the main seat, looking at Lu Xun, who had a fresh and elegant smile in front of him and behaved elegantly, he spoke softly. Landon asked.

"Brother Zifu, this time I came to serve the order of Marquis Wu. Marquis Wu has now received his letter and specially ordered me to come and give an answer." Lu Xun looked at Bai Ren with a slight smile in front of him, Said to Bai Ren in a somewhat humble tone.

"Sun Quan probably agreed!" Bai Ren saw Lu Xun's words and demeanor, and instantly understood Sun Quan's answer, so he said to Lu Xun calmly.

"I didn't expect my brother to be so sure that Marquis Wu would agree." Lu Xun looked at Bai Ren's firm eyes, sighed helplessly, and said to Bai Ren with a wry smile.

"It's not that I'm sure, but that Sun Quan has no choice but to agree with the current general trend!" Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun's emotional expression, touched his chin, and replied calmly to Lu Xun.

"I don't know the meaning of elder brother's words, please explain to me." After hearing what Bai Ren said in front of him, Lu Xun suddenly looked at the indifferent Bai Ren with a strange expression, and spoke hoarsely to the master sitting in front of him. Bai Ren asked on the seat.

Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun's puzzled face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he explained to Lu Xun in a calm tone: "Bo Yan, may I ask you who brought down Jiangdong?"

"Sun Ce, Sun Bofu!" After listening to Bai Ren's words, Lu Xun answered Bai Ren's question without any hesitation.

"Since Sun Quan inherited the position of Lord of Jiangdong, has he ever expanded the territory?" Bai Ren continued to touch his chin, looked at Lu Xun in front of him with a calm expression, and said to Lu Xun in a calm tone.

"Brother, what you mean is..." Lu Xun suddenly understood what Bai Ren said, and then looked at Bai Ren with some emotion and said.

There was a smile on the corner of Bai Ren's mouth, and then he said to Lu Xun in a calm tone: "Since Sun Quan succeeded his elder brother Sun Ce and became the Lord of Jiangdong, many people in the general group here are following him. The veterans of Sun Jian and Sun Ce may not obey Sun Quan sincerely. In the Sun clan, there are also some people who are not convinced by Sun Quan's status, and even among your four major families in Jiangdong, there are some people who have ulterior motives towards Sun Quan. "

When Bai Ren said this, Lu Xun nodded with a heavy expression on his face. Although it seems that the four great families in Jiangdong have obeyed Sun Quan, all of them have their own thoughts, and they have their own families as the center. Otherwise, Before the Battle of Chibi, there would not have been so many civil servants who persuaded Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao.

"So in order to consolidate his rule, Sun Quan had to do a lot of things." Bai Ren looked at the curious expressions of Lu Xun, Pang Tong and Jia Xu beside him, touched his chin, and said softly .

Lu Xun was staring at Bai Ren at this time, Bai Ren often had amazing words, if he could listen to some of them, it would be extremely useful to himself and the Lu family in Jiangdong.

"So the first thing Sun Quan has done is to select generals who are loyal to him, and those generals who are loyal to his father and elder brother are slowly separated from the center of military power, such as Lu Su who is now in the hands of Sun Quan. Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Zhu Heng, Zhu Ran, including you, Lu Xun, are all promoted by Sun Quan. As for Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, their military power has gradually been reduced. The most tragic thing is that Zhou Yu was forced to leave the court of Soochow." Bai Ren sat silently on his seat and looked at Lu Xun in front of him, and spoke softly to Lu Xun, analyzing Sun Quan's actions.

"What my brother said is extreme. Now Sun Quan has elected many young generals as school lieutenants and placed them in the army. I'm afraid he wants to gradually rely on these people to control the power of the army." Hearing Bai Ren's explanation, Lu Xun looked a little serious. Seeing Bai Ren nodded, then said to Bai Ren in a hoarse tone.

"As for the Sun clan, Sun Quan is probably the only one left among Sun Quan's brothers. Sun Quan's younger brother, Sun Yi, died for no apparent reason a few years ago, and Sun Quan's elder brother, Sun Ben, has made great military achievements. His military status back then was only It is inferior to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but in the end Sun Quan sent him to a remote place to serve as a magistrate. On the one hand, Sun Quan promoted some of the Sun family's children, and on the other hand, he eliminated those who threatened his rule!" Bai Ren said more and more at this time The more interested he was, the more excited he looked at Lu Xun at the side, and said in a hoarse tone.

"Brother, continue to talk!" Lu Xun felt that Bai Ren in front of him was like a wise man who had already seen Jiang Dong thoroughly, and immediately said to Bai Ren with a little excitement. He wanted to hear how Sun Quan dealt with the four big families. That way he can be prepared.

"As for the four great families in Jiangdong, Sun Quan is not like his elder brother Sun Ce. He belongs to Huairou, but Sun Quan also has his own set of principles for the four families. The four families can hold official positions, but they cannot influence the court and affairs of Soochow. decision." Bai Ren looked calmly at Lu Xun, who was looking at him with a heavy face, staring at him firmly, and said to Lu Xun in a serious tone.

"Since Sun Quan treats the four major families in this way, how can the four major families be revived under Sun Quan's rule?" Lu Xun looked at Bai Ren in front of him with a somewhat excited expression, and said to Bai Ren with a somewhat sincere tone. , there was a trace of longing in his eyes.

"In the case of revival, if you really want to revive the family, the best way is to unite with the Sun family as one, so that both will prosper and all will suffer. Then the Sun family will definitely reuse this family!" Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun like this, Originally, Bai Ren planned to persuade Lu Xun to give up Sun Quantou and rely on himself, but after thinking about it carefully, Lu Xun would never give up his family and join Cao Cao.Seeing Lu Xun's sincere expression, Bai Ren still told Lu Xun what he was thinking.

"Really? Thank you, brother!" Lu Xun was not so happy when he found out Bai Ren's answer. After all, he and the Sun family were united as one, and all were prosperous and all were harmed. Does the Lu family still belong to the original Lu family?Are they considered the four major families of Soochow?But seeing Bai Ren gave his own answer, Lu Xun still said to Bai Ren with some gratitude.

"But Sun Quan wants to establish his own rule and establish his own prestige. The best thing is to fight, expand the territory, and conquer the city." Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun's serious expression, and didn't care about anything, but spoke calmly. He continued to talk to Lu Xun.

"Originally, the Chibi War could actually establish Sun Quan's prestige, but in this war, Zhou Yu's reputation was far higher than Sun Quan's, so that Sun Quan did not get any actual benefits, and this time he went north to attack Huainan. It's a good chance for him to win the prestige!" Bai Ren said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Lu Xun beside him.

Lu Xun looked at Bai Ren, and said to Bai Ren with some emotion, "That's why Marquis Wu agreed to brother's request for a battle?"

"That's right, first of all, Sun Quan wants to win the land of Huainan, and secondly, Sun Quan's subordinates have already captured Lujiang City. This plan to attack Huainan has already been half successful, and it is completely equal to our side." Looking at Lu Xun in front of him with some seriousness, he said to Lu Xun in a calm tone.

"Then a few nights ago, Sun Quan's generals ambushed our army's soldiers, causing heavy losses to our army's soldiers. Now our army's strength is far weaker than that of Soochow's army, while Soochow's army has strong morale and is far outnumbered. More than us, if Sun Quan refuses to agree. Isn't it the ambitious Sun Quan?" Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun who was thinking in front of him, with a smile on his corner, and said with emotion.

Chapter 722 The Arrival of Sun Quan's Army

"Brother, if you think so, then now that you are making an appointment with Marquis Wu, are you sure you can defeat Marquis Wu?" Lu Xun looked at Bai Ren who was smiling calmly in front of him, and asked Bai Ren with some doubts in his tone.

Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun's suspicious gaze, smiled wryly, and then said calmly to Lu Xun, "I'm really not sure that I can defeat Marquis Wu, and I don't even have a half chance of winning. You can always shrink your head and shrink your tail, even if you die in battle, it is better than shrinking back, Boyan, do you think I am right?"

"But, isn't it good to stick to the city now? If it doesn't work, brother can ask for help like Prime Minister Cao in Xuchang in the north!" Lu Xun looked at his brother's righteous look in front of him, and immediately said to his brother with a concerned expression.

"Prime Minister Cao, I'm afraid I'd like to send troops to support me if I lose this battle. I'm afraid he won't send troops here unless it is absolutely necessary. By the way, Sun Quan promised to come to fight with me when." Bai Ren Looking at Lu Xun in front of him, he said helplessly to Lu Xun that there are contradictions in any whole. Since ancient times, no dynasty has been able to unite as one, and often the superfluous obedience and obedience end up in the people above.

"Hey! Marquis Wu, I plan to go to Shouchun City at noon in three days' time!" Lu Xun sighed helplessly after hearing his brother's dejected words, and then calmly replied to Bai Ren.

"Bo Yan, I think it's been a long time since noon. If you dare to go back to Lujiang City, it may be late at night. Why don't you stay with me today?" Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun in front of him and answered his question. Question, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked at Lu Xun with a somewhat emotional expression, and said to Lu Xun in a soft tone.

"Brother, now that the two countries are at war, it is not suitable for me to stay here any longer. I am afraid that if Jin Yue breaks the rules, Marquis Wu will definitely have doubts about me, and I need to hurry back to Lujiang." Lu Xun heard Bai Ren's calm voice in front of him. Words, shook his head helplessly, and then explained to Bai Ren in a calm tone.

"Then I'll take you out of the city personally!" Hearing what Lu Xun said, Bai Ren smiled calmly and said to Lu Xun in a soft tone.

Outside the gate of Shouchun City, Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun on his horse with his profound Jia Xu and Pang Tong.A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Bo Yan, this Sun Quan is not the master after all. If Bo Yan has wronged you in Jiangdong, you can go north and join me." Bai Ren looked at Lu Xun who was riding on the horse, and said to Lu Xun in a calm tone .

"Brother, I hope that one day we can go boating on the Yangtze River and have a long talk. Now I still need to go back and report to Marquis Wu. Let's take a step first. Take care, brother." smile.Said in a somewhat calm tone, then waved the reins in his hand, rode the BMW under his crotch, and headed west.

Bai Ren stared straight at Lu Xun, rode his horse towards the distance, and gradually disappeared into the shadow of the setting sun, and sighed helplessly in a tone of voice, the friendship that has been known for more than ten years, after all, it is impossible to escape separation ah!

"Master, this Lu Xun seems to be a talented person! It's a pity that Sun Quan is so cheap now." Jia Xu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke at this time, looking at Bai Ren with a calm face, and his tone was a little bit Said with emotion.
