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

Like Liangzhou and Yizhou, Jiangdong was not at peace either. The three forces of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun fought openly and secretly.

Zhou Yu had the support of the old generals of Huaisi, Lu Xun had the support of the Jiangdong nobles, and Sun Quan only had the support of his wife Bu clan. They were the weakest among the three forces, so he thought of the Yue people.

There are many records about the Yue people in the book. From Jiaozhi to Kuaiji, there are seven or eight thousand miles. There are hundreds of Yue people in various places, each with its own caste. The Yue people were the first group to grow rice, and their smelting technology was in a leading position at the same time. They also had a celebrity, King Gou Jian of Yue, who became the overlord in the late Spring and Autumn Period. This was the last glory of the Yue people. Since then, the Yue Kingdom has perished, and the Yue people have wandered to various places. Many Yue people have taken boats to go to sea, and even crossed eastward to the Maori Island and Fuso Country thousands of miles away, where they continue to continue the civilization of the Yue people.

Sun Quan thought of the brave Yue people. He spent a lot of money to invite them to join his army and gave them land so that they could become new citizens and no longer suffer from wandering. This method was indeed effective. In just three months, Sun Quan had recruited There were 10,000 Yue people, and their combat power even exceeded that of Zhou Yu's Danyang soldiers.

At this time, Sun Quan lacked a general to lead the army. His riding and shooting ability was far inferior to that of his father and brother, so he was naturally unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading an army. His ideal commander was Lu Xun. The two were close in age, and the Lu family was the richest man in Jiangdong. The other three families of Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang did not have as much wealth combined as the Lu family. This is why Lu Xun could support an army of 50,000 people.

Pang Shiyuan, Meng Gongwei, Cui Zhouping, and Shi Guangyuan, who had previously fled from Jingzhou, were all in Sun Quan's house now, serving as his staff. After all, Sun Quan was the nominal governor of Yangzhou and the highest chief executive in Jiangdong.

Although Lu Xun had the support of the nobles, he did not have a position appointed by the imperial court. This was his flaw and the reason why he had not broken up with Sun Quan for so long.

On this day, an old friend returned to Jianye, but it was Sun Shangxiang.

It turned out that since Cao Pi became emperor, he only favored Queen Guo and Xiao Qiao, and neglected other beauties in Tongque Terrace. Sun Shangxiang was able to escape Luoyang, and with the martial arts he learned as a girl, he finally returned to Jianye after many hardships.

Mrs. Wu did not expect to see her daughter again in her lifetime. The mother and daughter held each other's arms and cried. Sun Quan looked at his sister who had returned, and a plan sprouted in his heart. He wanted his sister to marry Lu Xun, so that Lu Xun could become his own. A member of the same clan can easily defeat Zhou Yu and unify Jiangdong.

What troubled Sun Quan was how to get Lu Xun to marry his sister? At the age of twenty-six, he is as mature as a forty-six-year-old. During the conversation between his sister and his mother, Sun Quan unexpectedly learned that his sister was still a virgin, which made things much easier. After all, he sent his sister to Tongque Terrace as a maidservant. Now she is still intact, but It was beyond Sun Quan's expectation.

Sun Quan decided to go to the Lu family in person to propose marriage. Jianye and Kuaiji were not far apart, and it was only a day's journey away. He was accompanied only by his guard Xu Sheng. Kuaiji was indeed the headquarters of the Jiangdong nobles, and it was indeed very wealthy. Sun Quan once again saw the strength of the Jiangdong nobles.

Lu Xun was surprised by Sun Quan's arrival. After all, Sun Quan had deprived himself of his military power in order to win over Zhou Yu. This incident had always made him worried.

Sun Quan also lowered his attitude and knelt down in person to apologize to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan, I blamed you for wronging me for believing in greedy words back then. I hope Bo Yan will give up and surrender."

Seeing Sun Quan's behavior, Lu Xun quickly helped him up. After all, he was also one of the participants in the assassination of Sun Ce. The two were like-minded at first. The resentment in Lu Xun's heart also disappeared: "If Zhong Mou can be of use to me in the future, Just tell it."

Sun Quan said, "There is one thing that needs to happen right now. My sister-in-law is twenty-eight years old and she is still waiting for her marriage. If Rubo refuses to give up, can I marry my sister-in-law?"

Lu Xun said: "Miss is the queen of the general family, I am just a commoner, so I am really high up."

Sun Quan said: "This matter has been settled. From now on, you will be my brother-in-law. If I win the world in the future, I will be half as good as you."

After Lu Xun became Sun Quan's brother-in-law, he naturally persuaded the Gu family, the Zhu family, and the Zhang family to serve Sun Quan together. The situation in Jiangdong instantly reversed, and Zhou Yu became the weaker party.

At this time, Sun Quan and Lu Xun had a combined army of 70,000, and Zhou Yu had only 20,000 troops. They were already at a disadvantage. Lu Meng suggested giving up Chaisang, taking a boat to sea, away from Han Dynasty, and looking for a new land in the East China Sea. , Lu Su also expressed his willingness to sell off all his family assets for the army to go to sea for war.

Zhou Yu thought about it over and over again, weighed it repeatedly, and finally made up his mind to leave Jiangdong. However, he also left Zhou Tai and more than a hundred people from the Zhou clan behind to return to Jiangdong in the future.

After preparing their ships, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng left the land they had fought for many years and searched for a habitat in the vast sea. Later, they arrived at Yizhou, which was later known as Taiwan. From then on, the Han people began to reclaim wasteland and live in Yizhou. Reproduction is something that comes later.

After forcing Zhou Yu away, Sun Quan once again became the lord of Jiangdong. At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had abdicated. The Wei Dynasty established by Cao Pi represented the orthodoxy of the Central Plains dynasty. Sun Quan sent envoys to Luoyang to declare himself a vassal and pay tribute.

Seeing that Sun Quan was so aware of current affairs, Cao Pi made Sun Quan King of Wu and rewarded Sun Quan with Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.

Cao Pi did this for a purpose. The Qiang and Yi people are now his biggest enemies. Jingzhou is vast and needs to be guarded by heavy troops. After the reward was given to Sun Quan, the southern gate of Luoyang was naturally guarded by Sun Quan. The original Jingzhou garrison They can be transferred to Yanzhou. Jiaozhou is now in Lu Bu's hands. This can intensify the conflict between Lu Bu and Sun Quan and make Lu Bu temporarily unable to make plans for Luoyang. Such a plan to kill two birds with one stone was naturally the work of the conspirator Sima Yi.

Sun Quan is also happy to accept Jingzhou. If he wants to develop, the next step is to go west and capture Yizhou. Then go south and capture Jiaozhou. Once the plan is fully realized, he will be able to control half of the world. Then he only has to wait for Cao Pi and Lu Bu to happen. If there is a conflict, he will send his troops northward to unify the world. His advantage is his youth. Sun Quan believes that he can defeat Lu Bu and Cao Pi and become the final winner.

Lu Bu was not worried about the situation of Wei Yan in Jiaozhou. After all, there was a colony as large as Southeast County, and the resources, population, and land could fully support the army in Jiaozhou, and they could even send troops to Jiangdong and Jingzhou. However, Lu Bu did not order Wei Yan to attack, but ordered He continued to develop Jiaozhou and waited for the opportunity.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou was in the most difficult situation. Cao Zhang of Hanzhong asked him for food from time to time. The Yi people continued to invade, and the Qiang people also focused on the fertile land of Yizhou. This land of abundance became popular among the people.
