Three Kingdoms

February 22, the fifth year of Yanping.

It is advisable to take a bath and clean the house. Don't take anything left.

Breezy today.

It rains.

It rains down, falls on the tiles, collects into water, and falls in the hall.

Zhou Yu, dressed in plain clothes, sat cross-legged in front of the hall, looking up at the sky, motionless.

The dark sky stretches from here to there, just like the situation in Jiangdong, so dull and suffocating. A flag in front of the hall was drooping feebly in the rain, its tail feathers raised from time to time, as if to tell other people that this flag was still ready to go, flying and dancing on the battlefield.

Under the eaves on the right side, there is a nest of chaffinches that settled down at an unknown time. A swallow squatted on the edge of the nest, comforting two or three chicks that were chirping anxiously, and then became impatient and frightened. He stretched his neck and tilted his head from time to time to stare at Zhou Yu.

Outside the courtyard gate, the servant walked cautiously, but still accidentally stepped on a round, wet and slippery stone on the stone path. He couldn't help but squeaked and almost fell to the ground. When he quickly stood up again, he When he found that the hem of his clothes was already wet, he was speechless. He could only walk down the corridor in depression, put down the utensils in his hands, and then wring the wet hem of his clothes dry.

Lu Su wore a raincoat and came to the front of the hospital. He first looked at Zhou Yu who was in a daze. Then with the help of the Zhou family servants, he took off his coir raincoat, shook out the slightly wet outer robe, walked through the corridor, and walked out. When he arrived at the hall, he sat next to Zhou Yu.

"How?" Zhou Yu was still looking at the sky, as if he wanted to see the changes in the stars through the clouds, and asked directly without looking at Lu Su.

Lu Su shook his head and said: "Not so good... Sun Zhongmou actually imprisoned Sun Good Morning..."

Although in the Han Dynasty, it was said that a man was almost an adult when he was fifteen, and marriage was even allowed by national law. However, in the eyes of many people, Sun Quan was not necessarily mature even if he was twenty. Immaturity means unstable character, and may even make some bizarre actions.

The original idea of ​​the Jiangdong gentry family was to let the Wu family succeed the Sun family...

Just like many queen mothers in the Han Dynasty.

However, it was obvious that Zhou Yu did not agree. Also with reservations were Huang Gai and a group of other veteran generals. These generals, who were actually in charge of most of the Sun family's soldiers, were unwilling to obey Wu's orders. Therefore, the Sun family's internal struggle Extraordinarily contradictory from the start.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wu did not stand up to compete for this position, and even supported Sun Quan to inherit the position, otherwise the Sun family would definitely fall apart. Moreover, Mrs. Wu made this decision in a very short period of time, and even wrote a letter to Wu Bi personally, asking Wu Bi to support Sun Quan in inheriting the Sun family's great cause. This decision was even better than that of ordinary men. They were all so strong that Zhou Yu couldn't help but admire them.

This situation was beyond the expectations of the Jiangdong nobles and caught them off guard.

In the understanding of the Jiangdong gentry family, the Sun family will inevitably fall into civil strife if something unexpected happens, and then they can encourage the Sun family and the Wu family to fight fiercely, and in the end both sides will suffer. Next, completely withdraw from Jiangdong.

However, the Jiangdong nobles did not expect that due to Mrs. Wu's quick response, many things had to be stopped before they could be carried out...

The relatives, veterans, and new generals of the Sun family stood together and jointly supported the banner of the Sun family!

Immediately, correspondingly, the Sun family did not collapse as expected, so the person who should pay the price in turn was naturally the Jiangdong gentry family.

Just like a bet on a gambling table, only those who invest in the chip pool are eligible to compete for the final victory, but once they fail, it means that all the money invested is lost...

Among the Jiangdong nobles, there are some people who are not willing to lose this part of their chips, so they have been making some moves in the past two days. Unfortunately, the Sun family has united. Although it is not said to be monolithic, it is no longer Sun Ce's assassination. It was already crumbling...

As a good friend of Zhou Yu, Lu Su didn't think much of Sun Quan, but since Zhou Yu had already made a decision, he supported Zhou Yu. He had been running around outside for the past two days, on the one hand to disrupt and split the Jiangdong gentry, and on the other hand to Get some news from it.

Is this person Sun Quan...

Indeed, as Lu Su said, it's not that great.

"Sun Good Morning indeed has a lot of complaints, but at the moment, there is not much trouble. Wouldn't it be disgusting for Sun Zhongmou to do such a thing?" Lu Su frowned and said, "It should be noted that Zheng Bo Duan also has time, even so. It can be eliminated in advance so that there will be no future troubles, but... it is always inappropriate..."

"Zhongmou is still young..." Zhou Yu sighed slightly, "After all, I don't have the courage of Brother Bofu..."

Sun Lang is older than Sun Quan, but the problem is that Sun Lang is a commoner, so compared with Sun Quan, he is naturally not qualified to compete for the throne of the Sun family. This matter is not very happy for anyone, and Sun Lang is naturally a little bit dissatisfied. Words or something.

Although Sun Lang's complaints represent Sun Lang's dissatisfaction with Sun Quan's rise to power, it also reflects that Sun Lang is not a very deep man in the city. If Sun Lang really didn't say anything and was just doing things behind his back, it would be more dangerous. . Therefore, Lu Su honestly does not need to rush to deal with Sun Lang now, which means that Sun Quan is not very mature yet.

By doing this, Sun Quan can, on the one hand, show his strength and suppress all dissatisfied voices when everyone joins forces. On the other hand, it can also eliminate hidden dangers in advance, so that the Sun family can be more integrated and work together to deal with the outside world.

At the same time, there is actually an additional point. Sun Quan also took this opportunity to break away from Mrs. Wu's wings and show his self-thinking and strategies as the successor of the Sun family. Although there are still some immature aspects, it is a start after all. , considering this point, Zhou Yu naturally did not have much objection.

Zhou Yu let out a long sigh. Sun Quan did not have the courage of Sun Ce. This may be a bad thing or a good thing. Sun Ce and Sun Quan are simply two different ends of the spectrum. One is extremely courageous, while the other is cautious and subtle.

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and said, "What are the Lu family's actions?"

Lu Jun is a good person, but it does not mean that good people will be rewarded. On the contrary, good people will often become the victims in the first round, because everyone knows that if you force a good person, nothing will happen to you, but if you force a bad person, you will suffer. You will definitely suffer the revenge of the bad guys.

Lu Jun likes flowers and birds, painting, poems and books. He is an honest and trustworthy person, and can be said to be a person who has nothing to do with the world. In a peaceful and prosperous age, such a person would live to be a hundred years old, but now...

"Lu Jicai dug out his own newly brewed wine and gave it to the Gu, Zhu, and Zhang families..." Lu Su sighed, unable to bear it, and shook his head, "This person... alas... it's true... alas... …”

Zhou Yu was silent.

Was Lu Jun wronged?

It's a bit unfair.

Lu Jun was involved, but he was not an important organizer or planner. He was guilty, but he should not bear full responsibility. What's more, according to Lu Jun's character, most of the time he does something, he is the default choice. He usually doesn't object to what others agree with, and he usually doesn't approve of what others object to.

Everyone knows such a person and such a character. Everyone, not only Zhou Yulu Su, but most other people know this, but what can they do if they know?

Will the real culprit be revealed and take responsibility?

Expose who?

Cao Cao?

Liu Biao?

Or the Xiapi Chen family? Jingzhou Huang family?

Just like those temporary workers in later generations, if they do something wrong, are they responsible? Yes, but is an incident entirely the responsibility of temporary workers? So why don't we start from the temporary job without mercy, follow the vines and pull out all the white radishes, carrots and green radishes of different sizes and weights in different pits?

The Jiangdong nobles were not the masterminds of the assassination of Sun Ce. At most, they just acquiesced, just like Lu Jun. So we really want to find the main mastermind. Could it be that we are going to send troops north now?

It is impossible for the Sun family to continue to develop weapons under such a situation. This is obviously unrealistic, but if it is all attributed to the Jiangdong family, these Jiangdong families will not accept it. Things have finally found a generally balanced position, that is, Lu hansome.

Of course, for the rest of the people, this is a balanced point, but for Lu Jun, it may not be balanced. But judging from Lu Su's words, Lu Jun seems to accept it by default just like his character. got this result.

Dig out the newly brewed wine and send it out...

Suddenly a servant ran over and reported in a low voice: "General Qi, the Lu family, the Lu family has sent a jar of wine..."

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Come in, take the general..."

Not long after, a jar of wine was brought in by two servants.

The wine jar is not big, and is sealed with yellow mud. There was originally something written on the wine jar, but now it has been re-pasted with a piece of red paper with the words "Ten Years of Brewing" written on it...

Zhou Yu looked at it silently for a moment, raised his forehead slightly, and said, "Open it! Get a bowl!"

The servant stepped forward, opened the wine jar, brought another bowl, poured out a bowl, and served it to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu reached out to take it, frowning and holding it in silence.

Lu Su frowned and said, "Gong Jin, this wine..."

"It doesn't matter..." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, immediately picked it up, drank it in a few sips, then took a long breath, threw the bowl casually, fell on the stone slab of the courtyard, and smashed it into pieces, "Good wine ! Good wine! Brother Lu, have a good trip!"

After saying that, Zhou Yu stood up and looked into the hall.

Lu Su, who was standing aside, couldn't help but sigh and said, "Let me take a bowl to someone..."

The servant quickly took a new bowl and poured a bowl for Lu Su.

Lu Su took it and Gududu drank it, then shook his head and raised the bowl: "Good wine! Good wine!" Then he handed the bowl to the servant and followed Zhou Yu into the hall...

The servant bent down and saw Zhou Yu and Lu Su entering the hall. Then he looked at each other with his companions, then turned to look at the wine jar. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and dipped some in the wine in the jar. Sneak it into your mouth...

"Well……"

Sour and astringent!

This is obviously not fermented, so how can it be a good wine!

…………………………………………

"Good wine! Good wine!" Lu Jun shook his head and drank his own wine, then glanced at Lu Xun who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Mao'er has not yet understood the truth, and I am very worried... Zhi Xun'er has a calm personality. , you might as well give me some support..."

"Uncle!" Lu Xun cried and bowed.

"Although Gongji says that I am older than you, I am still young..." Lu Jun put the wine bowl on the table, pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "I thought I could protect you, but I never thought that I would need to take care of you." It’s up to you...hehe, it’s really..."

Lu Jun is Lu Xun's uncle and is of the same generation as Lu Ji. According to seniority, Lu Ji should be the one to take over at this time. But the problem is that Lu Ji is six years younger than Lu Xun, so in fact, it is the opposite. The backup kid must step forward at this moment to pick up the beams of the Lu family that are about to collapse.

Lu Xun was originally born in Huating. His grandfather Lu Yu served as a captain in the city gate; his father Lu Jun served as a captain in Jiujiang. However, because his father died when he was young, the whole family defected to him. His grandfather, Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, studied in Shu County where he was appointed.

As a result, the good times did not last long. Due to the disagreement between Yuan Shu and Lu Kang, Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Lujiang. Lu Kang could not hold on and was defeated and died. Before that, Lu Kang had killed Lu Xun and his son Lu Ji. After being sent to Wu County, he went to Lu Jun's home to study with Lu Mao in Lu Jun's home.

As a result, it didn't take long for Lu Jun to cause trouble and was implicated in the case of Yu Ji's witchcraft Gu Sun Ce...

"I'm sorry for you in this life, but after my uncle leaves...you can read quietly behind closed doors, and don't stir up trouble..." Lu Jun said in a deep voice, "Xun'er needs to remember it! Don't forget it!"

"Wei! Remember this, kid!" Lu Xun kowtowed and replied.

Lu Jun nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Get up, sit down. A certain man dug out the newly brewed wine and gave it to everyone... Do you know about it?"

Lu Xun wiped the tears on his face, sat down again, and nodded silently.

"Oh, you might as well tell me..." Lu Jun said, shaking the residue in the wine bowl.

"Uncle's intention..." Lu Xun raised his head, looked at Lu Jun and said, "First of all, this wine was originally supposed to be brewed for ten years. Due to this incident, I dug it up and gave it to everyone, and also stated that it would be brewed for ten years... This time the Lu family suffered a loss, all clans agreed to show their kindness and take care of the Lu family for ten years..."

Lu Jun laughed loudly, poured himself another bowl, and drank it all in one gulp, "Good wine, good wine!"

"Second..." Lu Xun said, "Newly brewed wine must be bitter and turbid... However, the Lu family's wine is brewed by the Lu family, and the Lu family has already drank it. Third..."

"Okay! Stop talking!" Lu Jun interrupted Lu Xun's words, then looked at Lu Xun and said, "Okay! I have you in the Lu family, and my heart is at peace!"

Lu Jun personally poured a bowl of wine for Lu Xun, then handed it to Lu Xun and said, "God will never stop the Lu family's journey. It's so lucky to have Qilin'er like this! How lucky! Come! Let's drink together!" Between the words, there was already a lot of excitement. Think of Lu Xun not as a junior, but as an equal.

Lu Xun lay down, kowtowed to Lu Jun, then picked up the wine bowl and drank heavily.

Wine that has not been fully fermented is full of various impurities and does not have enough time for acetic acid to turn into ethanol and ethyl ester. Natural wine cannot have any mellow aroma and tastes like a bowl of sour and bitter water.

“Good wine!”

"Good wine..."
