The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

It is said that Xiahou Dun led an army of 30,000 to conquer Huainan in order to completely eliminate Yuan Shu's forces. He was unstoppable along the way and trapped Yuan Shu's army alone in Shouchun City. He was about to succeed. At this time, Yuan Shu activated a young general who was brave and invincible and single-handedly defeated Xiahou Dun. He was seriously injured and relieved of the siege. This man became Sun Ce, the little overlord who later became famous all over the world.

Sun Ce is twenty-five years old. He is tall, long-armed, handsome, and invincible. He wields an Overlord Phoenix Spear. According to legend, this was the weapon of General Long Qie under Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu.

As the eldest son of Sun Jian, Sun Ce stayed with Yuan Shu as a hostage. After Sun Jian's death, the Danyang army was taken over by Sun Bi and Wu Jing. Sun Ce made friends with Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yin and got the opportunity to serve as an official. Sun Ce was a hero and made good friends with Huaisi people Zhou Yu and Lu Su. He received their financial support. He led the Huaisi soldiers to surprise Xiahou Dun's camp and created chaos with fire attacks. Sun Ce killed him by himself. He killed hundreds of Cao's troops and shot down Cao's general Xiahou Dun with one arrow.

Yuan Shu held a banquet in honor of Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu is so brave, he is just like your father. You should take the lead in this battle. Tell me what reward you want."

Sun Ce drank the strong wine from the cup and said, "Thank you, my lord. In this life, Ce only hopes to avenge his father and kill Huang Zu's son. I beg your lord to give me an army. I am willing to capture Jingzhou for your lord."

Yuan Shu was a little embarrassed, "Bo Fu, it's not that I don't want to help you avenge your father's murder. At present, there are few soldiers in Huainan. Your father's old troops are all under the command of Sun Bi and Wu Jing. They are now separatist in Wu County and do not obey my orders." Order, if you can hold the leadership of this army in your hands, why not worry about avenging your father?"

After the banquet, Sun Ce returned to the military camp. He found Zhou Yu and Lu Su, "I want to avenge my father, but the lord refuses to send troops. He wants me to seize the military power of Danyang soldiers. But Sun Ben is my elder brother, Wu Jing." This is my uncle, I was taught by Wu Ming, what can you do?"

Zhou Yu proposed a plan, "I heard that Yuan Shu has a daughter who is staying in the boudoir. Brother Bo Fu can join the Yuan family. This will occupy the great righteousness. After that, the brother can represent the Yuan family to take back the troops of Sun Ben and Wu Jing, and establish a foothold in Jiangdong. First, take Yangzhou." , first capture Jiaozhou, then Jingzhou, and based on the three states, enter Sichuan and Shu. Attack in two directions, we can pacify the Central Plains in one fell swoop and achieve immortal achievements."

Lu Su said, "Gong Jin's plan is feasible. Su also believes that the land east of the Yangtze River should be taken first. The land of Jiaozhou has not been affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion and has the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. It can be attacked and defended. The people in the mountains and mountains are brave and brave. If it can be used by me, it will be beneficial." My lord will strive to dominate the world in the future."

Sun Ce made up his mind, and in order to fulfill Sun Jian's ambition, he decided to propose marriage to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu knew that Sun Ce wanted to marry into his wife, and he readily accepted it. After all, Sun Ce's bravery was rare in the world. His son Yuan Yin was not a talented person, and the foundation of the Yuan family would depend on his son-in-law from now on.

So the sorcerer chose an auspicious day through divination, and Sun Ce married Yuan Xing. Sun Ce also became the leader of Yuan Shu's generals and was sent to Wu County to take over the military power of Danyang.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su crossed the Yangtze River in a small boat and arrived at Wu County. They were greeted by the veteran general Cheng Pu. When Cheng Pu saw Sun Ce, he immediately knelt down and said, "Greetings to the young lord. We haven't seen you for many years. The young lord is becoming more and more like the old lord."

Sun Ce helped Cheng Pu up, "Uncle Cheng, tell me the truth. Do my father's old subordinates support Sun Bi or me?"

Cheng Pu said, "Boyang has followed the old lord since he was a child, and he has fought in the south and north. Most of the army sergeants and soldiers are united with him. Huang Gongfu and Han Yigong, like me, support the young lord. If the young lord wants to seize power, he can only win." I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

Sun Ce said, "With the support of three generals, there is no need to worry about failure. Uncle Cheng helped me make an appointment with the two generals. This matter requires careful planning."

The next day, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang made an appointment to meet at the post house. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang expressed their loyalty and vowed to advance and retreat together with Sun Ce.

Lu Su said, "I am willing to donate half of my family's wealth to help my lord prepare money and food for his troops."

Zhou Yu said, "Danyang's soldiers are mostly composed of Shanyue, who are brave and good at fighting. We only need to outsmart them. Brother Bofu's mother is Wu Jing's sister, so we need to start from there."

Sun Ce said, "My mother is just a woman, how can she help me?"

Zhou Yu said, "This matter also requires the help of young master Sun Quan and young lady Sun Ren."

Sun Ce was even more puzzled, "How can a young boy help me? Gong Jin will tell you in detail."

Zhou Yu said, "You can ask the concubine to hold a banquet, invite Wu Jing, use the young master and the young lady as hostages, and first take half of Wu Jing's military power. After that, Yu is willing to go to Sun Ben's camp and persuade him to give up his military power. This can be a big deal." become."

Sun Ce decided to adopt Zhou Yu's strategy. He went to the city alone to meet his mother, Mrs. Wu, and told Zhou Yu's plan. For the sake of her son, Mrs. Wu had to give up the relationship between siblings and entertain Wu Jing. During the dinner, Sun Ce suddenly appeared and took out Yuan Shu's handwriting. , and expressed his willingness to take the two brothers and sisters as hostages, and received Wu Jing's support.

On the other side, Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Bi with his righteousness. In this way, Sun Ce successfully mastered 30,000 Danyang soldiers and regarded himself as a little overlord. With the strong financial support of Lu Su, Sun Ce adopted Zhou Yu's strategy of defeating them one by one and successfully eliminated them. The three forces of Wang Lang, Yan Baihu, and Liu Yao occupied the entire Jiangdong area, which was the homeland of Wu and Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period. The victorious Sun Ce ignored the opposition of everyone and established himself as the King of Wu and Yue.

After pacifying Jiangdong, Sun Ce handed over political affairs to Lu Su, and appointed Zhou Yu as the military governor, leading troops to capture Jiaozhou and conquer Shanyue. Sun Ce personally commanded the navy to attack Jiangxia. He finally wanted to avenge his father's murder.

Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, was already ill and unable to govern. Jiangxia's military affairs were put in charge of Su Fei. Su Fei commanded the navy to use bows and arrows to repel Sun Ce's attacks several times. The Wuyue army suffered heavy casualties but did not even land on the coast of Jiangxia. Sun Ce only Can withdraw troops.

Sun Ce, who returned to Jianye, summoned civil servants and generals to discuss a plan for revenge. Sun Ce sat on the throne and said to everyone, "Now that Gong Jin is attacking Jiaozhou, is there no one around me who can make suggestions?"

Everyone in the hall was silent. After all, Sun Ce had arrogated the title of king and directly placed himself on the opposite side of the world's princes. Even his father-in-law Yuan Shu sent a letter breaking off diplomatic relations. Although the Jiangdong nobles surrendered, they did not sincerely serve Sun Ce because of his cruelty.

Lu Su broke the silence and said, "Please, my lord, go to the royal palace and send an envoy to Xuchang to show your loyalty to the court. After getting the court's order, and then sending troops to Jingzhou, you can gain moral rights. General Huang is a member of the Huang family in Jingzhou, so let Mr. Huang The general pretends to surrender, and when the time comes, our army will respond internally, and Jiangxia can be taken."

Sun Ce nodded, "I think Zijing's plan is feasible, so I'll do as you say. But who should be sent to Xuchang?"

Lu Su volunteered, "I am willing to go there and seek justice for my lord with my sharp tongue."

In this way, Lu Su disguised himself as a merchant from Jiangdong and spent a month traveling through the Jianghuai River, via Xuzhou, and finally to Xuchang. Along the way, he also drew a map of the local mountains and rivers for future use in conquering the Central Plains.

The first time Lu Su saw Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he felt that Cao Cao had the aura of an emperor. Lu Su thought to himself, "This is the man who will rule the world in the future." He bowed to Cao Cao three times, and then said He said, "I am an envoy from Jiangdong. I have been ordered by my Lord to meet with the Prime Minister. Please take the title of king and return to the imperial court to guard Jiangdong for the emperor."

Cao Cao said coldly, "Sun Bofu's multi-front battles have been overwhelmed. I only need to cross the Yangtze River to pacify Jiangdong."

Lu Su said, "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. There is Yuan Shu in Huainan. The skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although he only has a land of several cities, he is the legitimate son of the Yuan family after all. Yuan Shao is his biological brother. How can he sit back and watch Yuan Shu?" Destroy? Liu Biao in Jingzhou also has hundreds of thousands of troops. It may not be easy for the prime minister's army to cross the Yangtze River and conquer Jiangdong."

Lu Su's words really spoke to Cao Cao's heart. After winning the Battle of White Horse Yanjin, this hero faced food problems. There was a severe drought in the Central Plains, starvation and thieves were rampant. He needed to rest his business for a while before he could continue to conquer the world. the road. Considering this, he said to Lu Su, "Sir, please stay in Xuchang to help me. There will be a place for you in the Han Dynasty."

Lu Su said, "Thank you so much, Prime Minister. Nowadays, all the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty are talented in helping the Prime Minister to pacify the world. There is no shortage of Lu Su. However, the people of Jiangdong need people like me, and my lord is also sincerely willing to serve the Prime Minister."

Although Cao Cao loves talents, he is not willing to force others to make things difficult for him. He said, "In this case, I will ask the emperor to issue an edict to make Sun Ce the Marquis of Wu and allow him to conquer Jianghuai. When he conquers Huainan and Jingzhou for the imperial court, I will Recommend him as the chief minister of the imperial court."

Lu Su thanked Cao Cao and said, "Thank you very much, Prime Minister. Marquis Wu will definitely clear the southern border for the Prime Minister. To express my gratitude, on behalf of Marquis Wu, I will pay tribute to the court one thousand shi of food."

Cao Cao was worried about food, so he was overjoyed when he heard this, "Sir, you have done a great job in donating food. On behalf of the imperial court, I grant you the post of Linjiang Prefect."

After receiving the imperial order, Sun Ce led the Jiangdong soldiers, bypassed the Yangtze River, and attacked Jiangxia by land. After a month of siege, the city of Jiangxia was defeated. Huang Zu and Su Fei were killed in the battle. Sun Ce cut off their heads and worshiped his late father Sun Jian, pointing his sword at them. Xiangyang.
