In the end, Lu Su was not directly sent to the other side of the Yangtze River by Sun Ce's warship. He chose to leave with Yang Hong. Anyway, Sun Ce had already exchanged with Liu Mang. If Sun Ce cheated, then there was something wrong with Sun Ce's character. Sun Ce doesn't dare to offend Liu Mang too much now, if Liu Mang's brother-in-law is offended, and a large army really comes to Jiangdong, Sun Ce can only fight with a mournful face, and Sun Ce doesn't want to go to war, right? ※,
So Lu Su was sent to Yang Hong's residence, and Lu Su and Yang Hong went back together.
Yang Hong's mission was completed. He stood by the river in Jianye and watched the soldiers of the new Yangzhou army dejectedly step onto the warships of his own navy. Could he not be dejected? They are captives, they went back as defeated, not returned in triumph, if it wasn't for His Highness the lord, the King of Shu, who was reluctant to part with them and spent money and food to redeem them, then maybe in the end, they would become a man without an owner Alone.
"Is the number of people counted?" Yangzhou sailors on the bow asked the nodding officials below.
"There should be 8,622 people, but there are actually 8,620 people!" The officials below reported to the generals of the Yangzhou Navy above.
"There are still two people missing?" Yang Hong frowned. Originally, the lack of two people was nothing in this troubled world, but it was really different for Yangzhou, because all the soldiers of the main force in Yangzhou would be there. Those registered in Yangzhou, if they died in battle, they will all enter the Hall of Heroes and be enshrined by later generations, but if they surrendered or defected, it is different, you can't let the surrender Be rebellious and be respected.
"Those two men. Those two men. They all said that they had no face and went back to face the folks. Therefore, they hanged themselves in the prison." The official next to him said to Yang Hong.
"Did you hang yourself?" Lu Su who was beside him muttered to himself.
"Then what about their corpses!" Yang Hong also said in a deep voice, even Yang Hong respected this kind of righteous man.
"I have ordered their corpses to be burned, and their bones are put in that box." The little official said to Yang Hong. It is rainy, humid and hot in the south of the Yangtze River, so this corpse cannot be kept for a long time, so it can only be stored in the box. incinerate.
"Take them back. Let them be on the flagship. They are righteous men and should be included in our Hall of Heroes." Yang Hong said to his subordinates.
"Yes!" The official took the order, and soon two urns were placed on the bow of the ship.
"It was supposed to be 8,622 people, but it was 8,622 people. Brothers, let's go home." The troop carrier of the Yangzhou Navy began to sail towards the opposite bank of the Yangtze River.
"By the way, where is General Dai Yun?" Yang Hong asked, one of the generals in this army was captured, and that was Dai Yun.
"My lord, didn't you meet General Dai Yun just now?" The soldiers beside him spoke in a very low voice.
"I've seen it?" Yang Hong thought for a while. He has never seen a person at the level of a school lieutenant, the most are just some military candidates.
"One of those two boxes belongs to General Dai Yun." The soldier's words were very bitter.
Yang Hong was taken aback after hearing this. But then he shook his head, "Hey! Why bother!"
"My lord, our boat is here to pick us up!" Yang Hong's entourage pointed to the boat over there and said to Yang Hong. It's not that Yang Hong is hypocritical. He is the foreign minister of Yangzhou. Naturally, there must be pomp and circumstance, otherwise he will be punished. people joke.
"En!" Yang Hong nodded, "Zijing, let's go, let's get on the boat together." Yang Hong shouted to Lu Su beside him.
"My lord, you go first." Lu Su said to Yang Hong.
"That kid respects you?" Yang Hong looked at Lu Su, he didn't understand what Lu Su was thinking.
"Hehe, my lord, if those soldiers are still like this, how can you let me go back to Lu Su?" Lu Su said with a light smile, looking at Yang Hong.
"Zijing, don't be stupid. The lord didn't mean to blame you for this incident. If the lord wanted to blame you, he wouldn't let me come and take you back." Yang Hong was a little anxious. His mission this time Didn't he just take Lu Su away? If Lu Su was stupid and refused to leave, or he was like that Dai Yun, how could he, Yang Hong, go back and confess
"It is precisely because of this that Su has no face to go back!" Lu Su shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was precisely because of Liu Mang's tolerance for him that Lu Su blamed himself even more, because Zhuge Liang reminded him beforehand, but in the end Lu Su still chose to believe Zhou Yu. Now that the Yangzhou army has returned in defeat in Jiangdong, only more than 8,000 of the 15,000 elite returned. They even committed suicide with Dai Yun, which made Lu Su feel even more guilty. "Please rest assured, my lord. There is an old father in Su, and I have not passed on a son and a half daughter to my Lu family, so Su will not be stupid." Lu Su said to Yang Hong with a chuckle. Well, it is impossible for Lu Su to joke about his own life, not to mention that Lu Su has no heirs, and it is even more impossible for him to hang himself. In this way, the Lu family will have no children and grandchildren.
"But!" Yang Hong wanted to say something else, but Lu Su shook his head, "Even if you take Su back, my lord, he is still a walking corpse. Su will never forgive himself for the rest of his life." Lu Su looked at Yang Hong, Because our boss seems to want to be strong.
"Zijing, then you have to promise me, and you are also promising the lord, you must take good care of yourself! The lord can't live without you, and Yangzhou can't live without you." Seeing that he couldn't dissuade Lu Su, Yang Hong could only confess in this way.
"En! Su knows, Su is still waiting to compete in the world with the lord!" Lu Su jumped off the boat, "My lord, please tell the lord, if this happens, Su will go back immediately" Lu Su said without turning his head just left.
"Plop!" Another figure jumped off the boat and stepped into the water.
"Yang Chen, where are you going?" Yang Hong frowned, because the one who jumped off the boat was none other than Yang Hong's son Yang Chen.
"Father, I am naturally with Lu Shangshu." Yang Chen also said with a light smile.
"Confused, come back to me." Yang Hong was in a hurry, because Yang Chen was his only heir. He was sent to Jiangdong before because Yang Hong knew that even if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were cheating, he didn't dare to kill Lu directly. Su and Yang Chen. But now it is different. They are leaving in large numbers. On the bright side, both Lu Su and Yang Chen returned to Yangzhou, and they came without amulets on their bodies.
"Father, you have taught me since I was a child that a person should be consistent. You have forgotten our mission to Jiangdong. Lu Shangshu is the chief envoy, and I am his deputy. Take care, father." Yang Chen said He chased after Lu Su in the direction he left.
"Yang Chen, Yang Chen." Yang Hong wanted to call his son back, but the son did go further and further away.
"My lord, why don't I send someone to bring the young master back!" asked the attendant next to him.
"Forget it. Forget it!" Yang Hong touched his forehead with a headache, "Forget it, let him go, let him go." Yang Hong knew that even if his son went now, it would be useless for him to catch him back. All Yang Hong can do now is to pray that his son can return safely.
"Lu Shangshu, Lu Shangshu wait for me, wait for me." There was a shout from behind Lu Su walking in front, Lu Su turned his head and saw that it was Yang Chen.
"Master Yang Chen, why did you follow someone?" Lu Su looked at Yang Chen and didn't understand. It was not until recently that he learned that Yang Chen was Yang Hong's son, so Lu Su's sense of Yang Chen was not bad, at least not because His father is a high-ranking official in Yangzhou, so he is arrogant.
"Lu Shangshu, where are you going?" Yang Chen asked Lu Su.
"Naturally go to something unfinished." Lu Su replied.
"But Jiangdong?" Yang Chen looked at Lu Su.
Lu Su glanced at Yang Chen and nodded.
"Then that's enough. Lu Shangshu still remembers the appointment of the lord! You are the chief envoy for the Jiangdong matter, Lu Shangshu, and I am the deputy envoy. Lu Shangshu is going to complete the unfinished business, which naturally involves my Yang Chen." Yang Chen said to Lu Su.
"Young Master Yang Chen, I'm going here, it's not like the previous missions." Lu Su said to Yang Chen.
"Don't worry, Lu Shangshu, if I get scared, I, Yang Chen, won't come either."
"Where is the boss?"
"My father taught me from an early age to be a man with a beginning and an end!"
"Okay, then follow me!" Lu Su nodded. Yang Chen knew Lu Su well, because he was quite talented, and he was very happy to have one more person to help Lu Su.
"Thank you Lu Shangshu!" A look of joy appeared on Yang Chen's face.
"Don't call me Lu Shangshu." Lu Su said to Yang Chen.
"What's that called?" Yang Chen looked at Lu Su in confusion.
"Call me Brother Lu." Lu Su said to Yang Chen, calling Lu Shangshu too dazzling.
"Hey, Big Brother Lu!" Yang Chen shouted happily, which means that Lu Su already regarded him as one of his own. "Brother Lu, where are we going now?"
"Let's go to a place called Zhang's Mansion." Lu Su said with bright eyes.
…
"What, the Yangzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army have made peace?" Zuo Li was surprised to hear the news, and all the Jiangdong gentry nearby were stunned. Their original plan was to mobilize the Yangzhou Army when Sun Ce was about to surrender. The mutiny, and later the plan could not keep up with the changes. This Sun Ce actually lied to Liu Mang of Yangzhou, and launched a civil uprising in the Jianye Water Army Camp. One of the reasons for this is that they don't have to face the Yangzhou Army. They all know the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou Army, from the Battle of Wancheng to the Battle of the Yangtze River , Losing one game after another, they are all afraid of losing.
If a mutiny was launched after Sun Ce surrendered to Yangzhou, then they would have to face the Yangzhou army and Sun Ce, and when Sun Ce used the people's rebellion to trap Yangzhou, then they would do nothing and watch Sun Ce and Yangzhou behind It's enough for the army to fight to the death, and finally they will come out to clean up the mess.
But now it's different again, this Yangzhou Liu Mang actually endured this anger, and even wanted to make peace with the Jiangdong army. Isn't this what makes them, the Jiangdong gentry, anxious
"Is this Liu Mang, King of Shu, a bitch? You have no blood at all, and you have been bullied like this. You should call me here." The Patriarch of the Hao family yelled, as if he was the one who was tricked. Over there, the teeth and claws can't wait for the Yangzhou army to fight over now.
"That's right! A 15,000-strong army has been beaten up like this, treated like a monkey, and still hasn't sent troops! Isn't the gentry who killed us in Wancheng back then vicious? Don't tell me it's more cowardly than this! " In the hearts of the Jiangdong gentry, Shu Wang Liu Mang is a butcher, how many people have been killed in Wancheng. All the gentry in Wancheng were uprooted. How many of them are the in-laws of the Jiangdong gentry present here.
"It's not true." Someone didn't believe the news.
"It's still fake. Yangzhou has sent Yang Hong over there, so it's still fake!" The head of the Cheng family next to him said unconvincedly that they, the gentry, naturally had someone to deliver the news to them.
"Mr. Zhang, is this news true?" Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Zhao who was above the main seat.
Zhang Zhao kept his eyes closed all the time, but now he was asked by the people below, so he opened his eyes and nodded, "That's true, then Yangzhou Shu Wang Liu Mang sent Yang Hong to Jiangdong to make peace." As for Yang Hong Zhang Zhao had a profound influence. The first time he suffered a loss was probably on Yang Hong's body. He went to Jiangdong, and the money was spent in the end. It was also brushed by Yang Hong.
"Not only that, this Yang Hong came to take away Lu Su and Lu Zijing, and also sent 20,000 shi of grain and grass to Sun Ce." Zhang Zhao's news became even more popular.
"What? 20,000 shi?" The patriarchs of the Jiangdong gentry clamored. Is 20,000 shi a lot of food and grass? For these Jiangdong gentry, 20,000 shi is really not much on weekdays. The throughput of the entire Jiangdong grain and grass is more than 100,000 shi, but it is different now. For 20,000 shi of grain and grass, then we Sun Ce, Mr. Sun Bofu, can expand the army by 20,000. Sun Ce already has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus another 20,000. This is 50,000 people, and many Jiangdong gentry have already begun to retreat.
Sun Ce with 50,000 troops in hand. Or can they handle it
They originally thought that the mutiny was just Sun Ce's personal guards and Jianye's defenders. If the army expanded to 50,000, what would they have to fight for? Whether it was the remnants of Yan Baihu or those Shanyue bandits, They are all defeated by Sun Ce.
"Mr. Zhang, what should we do now!" The Jiangdong gentry had no idea, and if Sun Ce found out, they wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.
Just when everyone was frowning, news suddenly came from outside.
"Dong dong dong!" Zhang Zhao's study was rang.
"Who is it!" The patriarchs of the noble families in Jiangdong felt as if they were facing a great enemy.
"News, home, Patriarch, outside, it is said that there is an old friend of the Patriarch who wants to find the Patriarch!" A man with the appearance of a housekeeper knocked on the door of the study.
"Didn't I just say it! I didn't sleep when I was discussing with the heads of the family here." Zhang Zhao was a little angry, because this matter was so important. If it happened, then their Zhang family's power would become the largest in Jiangdong. It is no problem for a noble family to become an aristocratic family, but if they lose, then it is really doomed.
"Patriarch, that person, that person said, if you don't see him, Patriarch, then he will go to Marquis Wu to report Patriarch." The butler looked at Zhang Zhao carefully. Although the butler didn't know everything about Zhang Zhao, he did it anyway. You can also hear it a little bit.
"Report me?" Zhang Zhao narrowed his eyes.
"Yes! He said that if the Patriarch doesn't see him, he might go to the Jianye prison when he sees the Patriarch tomorrow." The housekeeper said to Zhang Zhao.
"Are we exposed? This is a good way to do it." Some patriarchs of the gentry clan panicked.
Zhang Zhao rolled his eyes and waved his hand, "Go, bring my old friend here!"
"It's the head of the house!" Soon, two men were brought over, one of them was wearing a robe, his face was covered by a mask, and a young man followed behind him.
"Mr. Zhang Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time. We are really in love!" The man in the long robe spoke first, his voice was hoarse, which made people feel uncomfortable for a while.
"Which old friend of mine, Zhang Zhao, is your Excellency?" Zhang Zhao frowned when he heard the voice, he couldn't tell who this person was at all.
"Who am I? Mr. Zhang Zhao doesn't need to inquire. Mr. Zhang Zhao only needs to know one thing. That is, I am here to help Mr. Zhang Zhao!" The man in the robe said to Zhang Zhao.
"Help me? Hehe, what is there for me, Mr. Zhang, to help? Marquis Wu has already let me leave Jiangdong. My Zhang family will go to Xudu someday. If Mr. Zhang wants to help me, he wants to be in Xudu." If you can find another property for Zhang in Xudu, then Zhang Zhao will thank you!" Zhang Zhao said to the man in black.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Zhao deserves to be Mr. Zhang Zhao, even at this moment, he still treats it indifferently!" The black-robed man laughed.
"When is this time? Please let me know if Zhang Zhao is stupid!" Zhang Zhao said to the man in black.
"Naturally, that's the time when Mr. Zhang Zhao and even the Zhang family will face disaster." The man in black said to Zhang Zhao.
"How are you talking!" Zhang Zhao's housekeeper felt uncomfortable and yelled at the man in black, but was stopped by Zhang Zhao.
"Is my Zhang family going to be in disaster?"
"The Zuo family, the He family, the Hao family, the Cheng family. The four masters are not in the mansion, does Mr. Zhang Zhao know where they are going!" the black-robed man asked Zhang Zhao hoarsely.
"How can I know this, the four Patriarchs may have gone to work!" Zhang Zhao still had the same smile.
"Oh! Then, Mr. Zhang Zhao, do you know where we guessed they went?" The voice of the man in black became hoarse.
"Where did you go?"
"I guess they are in Mr. Zhang Zhao's mansion." The words of the man in black made Zhang Zhao's eyes narrow immediately, and there was a red light in those eyes, which was killing intent.
"Mr. Zhang Zhao wants to kill me?" The man in black was not afraid at all, on the contrary, there was a kind of joy in his eyes.
"Then Mr. Zhang Zhao, you'd better hurry up. After you kill me, go to Jianye Qianmen immediately. Otherwise, there will be an extra copy on Mr. Wu Hou's case tomorrow. Mr. Zhang Zhao, together with the Patriarch of the Hao Family, the Patriarch of the Zuo Family, and the four Patriarchs of the He Jiacheng Family, are planning to conspire to rebel." The man in black said to Zhang Zhao.
"Who the hell are you!" Zhang Zhao lost his composure, and stood up from the main seat.
"Who am I? Hehe, an ordinary person. A person who wants to show himself in front of the new Lord of Jiangdong, and a person who wants to plan something in this troubled world." The man in black laughed at himself.
The new owner of Jiangdong? Planning in troubled times? Zhang Zhao frowned. But then he laughed, this person seemed to want to join them, Jiangdong's new master? You must know that Sun Ce, the old master of Jiangdong, is still there.
"Why? Hao Chenghe, the four masters on the left, don't want to come out to meet someone?" The man in black robe found a seat and sat on it after a while.
But there was no movement around, as if the black-robed man was talking to himself, the black-robed man found a place to sit down, "Well! This tea is good, and Mr. Zhang Zhao even served my master and servant two It’s really hospitable to have prepared tea, but Mr. Zhang Zhao’s four cups of tea are a bit too much, and the tea is no longer hot!” the man in black said to Zhang Zhao with a smile.
The people in the black robe said that this was the case, and Zhang Zhao also knew that it was no longer necessary to hide the shadow, so he clapped his hands, "Come out!" Sure enough, four figures walked out from behind the screen, it was the shadow that hid. The Zuo family, the He family, the Cheng family, and the Hao family are the four heads of the family.
"Who are you?" Zuo Family Patriarch Zuo Li stepped forward and asked the man in black.
The man in black didn't answer directly, but said to Zhang Zhao, the owner of the study, "Mr. Zhang Zhao's tea is cold, let's refill the pot."
Zhang Zhao could only nod his head, "Someone gave it to us, what's your name, sir!" Zhang Zhao just remembered that after talking so much, he still doesn't know the name of this person.
"Just call me Yang Kui!" the man in black gave him a title.
"Come and serve tea to Mr. Yang Kui!" Zhang Zhao said to the butler outside, and soon a new cup of tea was served.
"Sir, don't you know what you want to teach us?" Zhang Zhao looked at the man in black and asked. If the man in black came here just to intimidate them, then Zhang Zhao wouldn't believe it even if he killed him, because no one would be so boring.
"I'm just here to tell Mr. Zhang Zhao and the other Patriarchs that the time has come for Jiangdong to change its master!" the black-robed man said to everyone.
"Hmph, you are mysterious. I don't know why Xiaoxiao. The time has come. Now I'm waiting to do something. It's a dead end. I can see that you have no good intentions. Zhang Gong should take this person down immediately and interrogate him." The head of the married family next to him suggested to Zhang Zhao next to him.
Take down this man in black robe? If it can be taken down, Zhang Zhao doesn't even want you to be reminded by the head of the family, he will send someone to take this person down immediately, but the problem is that this person can't be caught, everyone has said, unless you can send someone there immediately Build the front gate of Ye City, otherwise Sun Ce will know the evidence of their rebellion waiting for the next day. Does he, Zhang Zhao, dare to make a move? People who come to his Zhang family's mansion will naturally be sure to go back.
"If you don't do anything right now, then I, Yang Kui, don't have to stay here anymore. You are destined to go to Caishikou for a while! If I, Yang Kui, are free, I will offer you a stick of incense!" The more this man in black robe speaks, the more creepy he is,
"Mr. Yang Kui, now is the best time to do things. Wu Hou Sun Ce has recruited 30,000 armored men! It can be said that the strength has been slowly recovering. How can we resist such a force? " Zhang Zhao asked the man in black.
"Hehe, what about the queen?" the black-robed man asked Zhang Zhao after taking a sip of tea, and Zhang Zhao finally said that he really had the intention of rebelling, "Now Sun Ce has 30,000 soldiers and horses. Mr. Zhao insists on waiting for Sun Ce to get 20,000 grains from Yangzhou, then expand the army to 20,000 and eventually reach 50,000, so Mr. Zhang Zhao will do it again?"
The 30,000 soldiers and horses have already scared the Jiangdong gentry so much that they are almost ass old Liu. If there are another 20,000 soldiers, it will reach 50,000. I'm afraid they all dare not have the slightest idea.
"Mr. Zhang, why don't we continue to be under the lord's command?" The Patriarch of the He family next to him cautiously suggested to the several patriarchs next to him. This made him call the lord again. Sun Ce took one child at a time.
"Hehe, stay under Marquis Wu's command? Do you think you still have a way out?" the man in black said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang Zhao, you were forced to leave Jiangdong by Marquis Wu. It can be said that everything about the Zhang family in Jiangdong is over. They have a chance to stay, but you have no chance!" Zhang Zhao was silent, and indeed the man in black was right. He had already been sentenced to death by Sun Ce, and Sun Ce would not give him the slightest chance if Zhang Zhao lost his official position. He, Zhang Zhao, didn't have much to say, but Sun Ce shouldn't have thrown him to Xudu.
"Patriarch of the Zuo Family, Zuo Li, Zuo Taishou, right?" The man in black looked at Zuo Li, "Zuo Taishou, you have become the laughing stock of the entire Jiangdong officialdom. If Zuo Taishou surrenders to Zhuge Jin, then it's okay That is to say, the Zuo family will lose face from now on, if they don’t give in, hehe, I advise Zuo Taishou to resign from the position of the prefect, so as not to suffer from the pain of guarding the flesh and blood again!” The words of the man in black made Zuo Li’s mouth twitch. Take a pump.
The slap that Zhuge Jin slapped Zuo Li was really loud and slapping. If Zuo Li succumbs, then the Zuo family’s face in the gentry circle will be lost. You, a local gentry in Jiangdong, are afraid of that foreign Jingzhou gentry. This is not a loss of face for their Jiangdong gentry. Who will want it in the future? Contact with you!
But if he really refused to give in and challenged Zhugejin's authority time and time again, Zhugejin would not kill Zuo Li, but that action might be unpredictable. After all, their Zuo family's life in Jiangdong would not be easy. .
"The Patriarch of the Cheng Family and the Patriarch of the Hao Family, right? You said that you gathered in Mr. Zhang Zhao's mansion, do you really think it's seamless?" There is no such thing as an impenetrable force in the world, and the Jiangdong gentry was really quiet during this time. It's scary, if Sun Ce hadn't been mainly focused on Yangzhou, he might have found out. Once he understands what happened in Yangzhou, he will not know what these gentry are doing.
"We're here to see Mr. Zhang off." The Patriarch of the Hao family next to him said forcefully.
"Hehe, it's useless for you to tell me this, you can save it for Marquis Wu to explain it properly!" The Patriarch of the Hao family couldn't convince himself of this reason, let alone others.
"In the end, it's our Patriarch of the He family! Patriarch He, you really have a good relationship with that Zhou Yu. The He family and the Zhou family are also family friends. You are thinking of joining Sun Ce, so that you can look at Zhou Yu's governor's face. Give your He family a chance, even, you can use the present Zuo family, the Hao family, and even Mr. Zhang Zhao’s Zhang family as close assets for your He family, and you can even step on their heads to move upwards Climb one step, there is no Zhang family, no married family, no Hao family, no Zuo family, this Jiangdong! What a beautiful place it is!" The man in black took a deep breath and said to the Patriarch of the He family.
"En?" The patriarchs of the aristocratic families next to him stared at him immediately after being told by the man in black. Their eyes were shining when they looked at the Patriarch of the He family. It was a kind of red light that seemed to be able to kill people. .
"I didn't!" The patriarch of the He family immediately retorted, "I, He Rui, will never betray everyone here. Everyone here, please rest assured that I, He Rui, will never be kicked out of this kind of thing that has fallen into the rock. Yes! You have to believe me, you and I have been colleagues for so many years!" The Patriarch He explained over there with great effort
But it's okay if he doesn't explain it, it's explained. All the masters on the side all looked unhappy. This He Rui is the son of Zhou Yu, the patriarch of He family. There are quite a few people who have been killed by He Rui in the gentry circle of Jiangdong for so many years. For example, the Deng family, which had a good relationship with the Yan family before, was because the head of the Deng family said at the party that if the white tiger is there, you can drink it freely. This sentence was recorded by He Rui and reported to Sun Ce in his heart, telling Sun Ce said that the Deng family was still thinking about Yan Baihu's well-being, which meant cooking.
That's why the Deng family was uprooted. In the end, everything in the Deng family was annexed, and more than a dozen members were beheaded.
Although everyone here is the wolf that swallowed the Deng family back then. But the He family who reported this was still despised by everyone.
"He Rui, let me tell you! Why are you cooperating with us so much? You kid is trying to sell us and give benefits to your master Zhou Yu!" The head of the married family next to him said fiercely, The owner of the family started out as a bandit, and they would fight if they disagreed.
"I didn't!" He Rui argued, "Don't listen to the nonsense of this man in black, a person who dare not even show his true colors may not be a good person!"
"Hehe, Patriarch He, I didn't offend you, I was just analyzing it. As for this face, it's because it's too ugly. I don't dare to see people."
"He Rui, tell me, why should we continue to seek refuge with Sun Ce?" the Patriarch of the Hao family next to him questioned.
"If you don't take refuge with the lord, do you have other ways to go? If the lord hasn't found out yet, you and I have to send a thousand gold, food and grass, so that you and I can protect our family business in this Jiangdong." He Rui said earnestly.
"Isn't it just a few thousand gold, isn't it just some food and grass? If these are gone, we can make more money. As long as you and I are in the gods, as long as the lord still controls Jiangdong, these things are not things and rebellion? Now the lord You have 30,000 horses in your hands, and it will become 50,000 later, do you have any chance of winning? If you fail, you will quarrel and silence!" He Rui continued, and under He Rui's earnestness, someone really changed For example, Zuo Li, the patriarch of the Zuo family, the man in black actually underestimated the thickness of Zuo Li's face, not to mention losing his face, as long as he can make his Zuo family go further, Zuo Li will be Zhuge Jin's dog, so what? As long as it can benefit the Zuo family.
"Patriarch He is right!" Zuo Li nodded,
"You see, you see, even the prefect Zuo said that, why should we bother, as long as you admit your mistake like the lord, the lord will not blame us, as long as you give the lord food, grass and gold, sooner or later we will still earn it back! "He Rui continued to confuse everyone, "Take this black-robed man and send it to the lord, and all the faults will be passed on to him." Sun Ce, tell Sun Ce that all this is the plan of the man in black, saying that he belongs to the second son. In this way, they will be seduced from the mastermind to the victim.
As a result, the patriarchs of the gentry looked at the black-robed man with unkind eyes, because what He Rui said was not a path, rebellion? Who wants to do this until the last step? How good it is to calm down and continue to be his big landlord.
"Hehe!" Stared at by the lights of the tigers and wolves around him, the man in black not only did not have the slightest fear, but was still extremely calm.
"That's right, take this person down, come here, come here, take me this deceitful person...get me down!" He Rui felt a pain in his chest before he could finish the sentence. With a sweet taste in his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out. He turned his head and saw a sharp sword pierced directly into his chest from his back, and the owner of this sharp sword was none other than the one in the study next to him. The owner is Zhang Zhao.
"Zhang, Mr. Zhang?" He Ruikong looked at Zhang Zhao with blood in his eyes in disbelief. He didn't expect that Zhang Zhao would strike at him. Seeing that he was about to die, his eyes widened.
Zhang Zhao calmly took out a white handkerchief from his bosom, and gently wiped the blood on his hands, as if he wasn't the one who killed He Rui. My Zhang family is gone!" Zhang Zhao has already been thrown into limbo by Sun Ce, and the Zhang family is about to move out of Jiangdong. These individuals have a way out, they can all admit their mistakes, and they can all buy them back with money. Taiping, but he, Zhang Zhao, was dying. Zhang Zhao pulled out a sharp sword from He Rui's body.
He Rui finally knew why he was beheaded by Zhang Zhao.
"Do the rest of you want to quit?" Zhang Zhao looked indifferently at the long swords in the hands of the people below who were still emitting a cold light.
"No, no!" All the patriarchs below are elite chillers. If there is one, then the long sword may have penetrated into his body.
"If there is, it's best to say it, otherwise there will be no chance." Zhang Zhao said to the people below in a considerate manner.
"Opportunity?" The people below were about to cry, what kind of opportunity, did you Zhang Zhao give it a chance? Not to mention the sharp sword in Zhang Zhao's hand, if anyone dares to say a word of surrender, that sharp sword will definitely enter someone's body and stab him into a dry building. Let's say that now that He Rui is dead, who has a chance?
Who is He Rui? Those are Zhou Yu's people. He Ruizai can still say good things for the fire. Now that He Rui has been killed, who will speak good things for them? Even if He Rui died, they would have no turning back. This is equivalent to completely falling out with Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong.
"Follow Zhang Gong's orders in everything!" The old man Zuo Li on the side really knows the times and immediately knelt down and said to Zhang Zhao, everything is according to Zhang Zhao. The Cheng family and the head of the Hao family immediately knelt down, listening to Mr. Zhang Zhao.
"Mr. Yang Kui, what should we do next?" Zhang Zhao didn't even look at the three heads of the largest family in Jiangdong who were kneeling below, but looked at Yang Kui over there.
To be honest, Yang Kui was also stunned by Zhang Zhao's decisiveness. At most, he thought that Zhang Zhao would put He Rui under house arrest, but he didn't expect that Zhang Zhao would kill He Rui directly. It really was a decisive killing, otherwise It won't change from a foreign gentry to the head of the Jiangdong gentry.
But serious enough to be shocked, the black-robed man was still very calm on the surface, "I don't know if Mr. Zhang Zhao has heard a word!"
"What?" Zhang Zhao asked.
"To hit a snake, you have to hit seven inches. To catch a thief, you have to catch the king first," the black-robed man said to Zhang Zhao.
"Huh?" Zhang Zhao thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, "What do you mean, sir?"
"Jiangdong's seven inches lies in two people, one of them is Wu Hou Sun Ce!" The man in black robe explained that the second son of Jiangdong played well before, as long as he kills his eldest brother, he will naturally be the master of Jiangdong, but Unexpectedly, it was exposed in advance by a letter sent by Yangzhou Shu Wang Liu Mang.
"Sun Ce is highly skilled in martial arts, and he has personal guards by his side, how do we do it?" the head of the married family below asked doubtfully. Since Sun Ce was assassinated last time, he has strengthened his guards. Every time there are more than a dozen or twenty experts around, and Lu Mengling is accompanied by twelve hours.
"Sun Ce can't be taken down, that's the second thing, that's a person, once this person takes Sun Ce down, there will be chaos! This person is Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong!" The man in black gave an answer.
"Great Governor Zhou Yu?" The patriarchs of the gentry below never thought of taking action against Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu has always been Sun Ce's brain truster, and Zhou Yu's methods also made them dare not do anything. Zhou Yu is too smart. I'm afraid they could be discovered by Zhou Yu before they got close to Zhou Yu, and the guards on Zhou Yu's mansion were not low, especially during the period when Zhou Yu was injured, Sun Ce often went to Zhou Yu's mansion, leaving many people behind for Zhou Yu.
