Three Kingdoms

A light is like a bean.

In a place where the light could not shine, someone knelt down and reported in a low voice: "General Zhu sent people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that the Zhu family is loyal and brave, and has been virtuous for generations. They will do their best to assist Zuo III for Jiangdong. They will definitely..."

Sun Quan sneered and interrupted the man, "Besides these, what else is there?" 』

"People from the Zhu family are delivering rice." 』

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "How many families did you send?" 』

"Everyone related to the Zhu family has been sent away. 』

Sun Quan sneered.

"In addition, the Zhu family is also saying something..."

"What words?" ” asked Sun Quan.

"Master steps at a pace, Master follows at a pace." 』

Sun Quan was silent for a long time and waved his hand.

The figure in the darkness just disappeared, as if it had never been there.

The light swayed slightly, shining on half of Sun Quan's face, as if he wanted to drive away the coldness that filled Sun Quan's face, but could not.

"Koto..."

After a long time, Sun Quan whispered these words, as if they were popping out from between his teeth, or as if he couldn't bear the heavy pressure.

There were some footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.

A woman's voice sounded outside, "Husband, haven't you rested yet?" 』

Sun Quan put away the gloom on his face and laughed twice, "There are many things happening in Jiangdong, and I can't sleep for a while." Madam, you can go and rest yourself. I will go to bed later. 』

There was a sound on the door lintel, and a young woman lowered her head and entered. Then she took the lunch box from the maid on the side, opened it and took the soup, and delivered it to Sun Quan personally, "Husband, state affairs are important, but you also need to pay attention to your own family." The body is. This soup was slowly cooked by my concubine for three hours. It is best for replenishing qi and nourishing the body. Husband, why don't you try it? 』

Sun Quan laughed and didn't say much. He just picked up the bowl and drank all the food.

The temperature of the soup was lukewarm, just like Sun Quan's attitude towards Mrs. Xu, which was also lukewarm.

Mrs. Xu is Sun Quan's second wife.

Mrs. Xu has money, so many of the surrounding servants are servants brought by Mrs. Xu.

Sun Quan's eldest wife's surname was Xie. She was his first wife, and she was personally selected for Sun Quan when the old lady was still there.

I have literary talent, but no money.

When Sun Quan was young, he loved his wife very much and believed that money and money were only external things, while love and literary talent were the soul.

But love is a thing, unless they are buried together in the ground like Chen Wu and his concubines, they will be together in life and death. Otherwise, over time, they will inevitably bump into each other and quarrel with each other.

After all, the soul also needs a body to be manifested, otherwise it will just be a lonely ghost.

For ordinary couples, this kind of thing is normal, especially for poor and low-income couples. There is simply no day without quarrels and no day of stability. After all, most of the quarrels between poor and low-income couples are due to lack of money, and this problem And it happens that it is often the result that poor and humble couples cannot change after a lifetime of hard work. Naturally, there are endless quarrels and unavoidable conflicts.

But for couples like Sun Quan who are no longer worried about a few dollars, the more conflict lies in Quan.

Mrs. Xie originally loved Sun Quan very much, but after having her mistress, Mrs. Xu, who was still upright and upright in front of her, Mrs. Xie became depressed.

Depression is often caused by a personal feeling that something cannot be changed.

Mrs. Xie was born in the Xie family in Kuaiji. Her father Xie Yu served as Shangshulang of the Eastern Han Dynasty and magistrate of Xia Pixu County. Her uncle Xie Zhen was the magistrate of Jianchang County. Naturally, she came from a scholarly family and was a lady. Xie Yu resigned from office and returned to his hometown after the Yellow Turban Uprising, and Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, served as the Prime Minister of Xiapi County before the Yellow Turban Uprising. Both of them were from Jiangdong, and both were officials in Xiapi in their early years. They should have certain personal relationships. Perhaps this is also the origin of the marriage between Mrs. Xie and Sun Quan.

It is unknown what Mrs. Xie looked like, but judging from her origin and region at the time, she must have been quite acceptable. At that time, Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu, personally issued a letter of engagement for Sun Quan and married Mrs. Xie home. The young Sun Quan and Mrs. Xie soon became inseparable. Historical records use the four words "lucky and favored" to describe the sweet years of this young couple.

If Sun Ce had not died, then Sun Quan and Mrs. It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people. After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan had to stand up and stabilize the Jiangdong regime, and for this reason, he also embarked on the road of scumbag power.

Sun Quan married Xu Kun's widowed daughter, Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu's grandfather was named Xu Zhen and had a close relationship with Sun Jian. Sun Jian married his sister to Xu Zhen and gave birth to Xu Kun, who in turn gave birth to Mrs. Xu. In terms of blood relationship, Mrs. Xu is equivalent to Sun Quan's niece. Sun Quan and Mrs. Xu are close relatives, and Xu Kun is an important local power in the Jiangdong Group. Sun Quan married Mrs. Xu, probably with the thought of being similar to Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong...

Although Mrs. Xie is the first wife, her family power is obviously not as useful as Mrs. Xu in the current situation. Therefore, Sun Quan secretly motioned to Mrs. Xie to give up his position as the main wife. Unfortunately, Mrs. Xie is not Yin Lihua. She disagreed, and could not accept that the previously loving Xiaoquan had turned into a scumbag. Not only did he marry a widow, he even wanted to be subordinate to her, and she was unhappy about it...

For Sun Quan, he just wanted Mrs. Xu's family money and influence, so rather than marrying with Mrs. Xu, it was better to say that he was making peace with Qian Cai. Sun Quan did indeed do this. In history, after he moved the capital to Jianye, he kicked Mrs. Xu. Because Mrs. Xu's family's sphere of influence is only in Wu County. Of course, these are all things for later.

Jianye is under construction, and Sun Quan is still staying in Wu County, so Sun Quan's attitude towards Mrs. Xu is not bad.

"Thank you for your hard work, madam. ”Zha Quan smiled gently, as gentle as he wanted to be. He was more professional than a professional young man.

Perhaps on the faces of most people looking for an aunt, there is such a gentle smile that can stimulate the motherly smile.

Mrs. Xu was older than Sun Quan. Seeing that Sun Quan had finished drinking the soup, she put it in the food box, waved her hand for the maids to clean it up and left, and then said slowly: "My husband wants to leave." Where did the Xu family go? Wu Jun or Jianye? 』

Sun Quan couldn't help but belched.

Sun Quan stared at Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu still had that gentle look, and it seemed that the cold question just now was not said by her, but just an illusion.

Sun Quan took a long breath.

I've just had some soup before, and now we're going to discuss such a serious issue. Is it appropriate?

But looking at Mrs. Xu's look, Sun Quan knew that there might be some things that Hu couldn't handle.

Nothing can be closeness and affection for no reason. Only after hard work can you get rich rewards. Sun Quan's luck with Mrs. Xu obviously did not satisfy Mrs. Xu.

When he was not the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan thought that it didn't matter whether he was in Jiangdong or not. Anyway, there were tall men in front of him. As long as he gained something, he had earned it, so he was fearless most of the time. It's different now. He has to think carefully about everything he does and think clearly about the causes and consequences before he can do anything.

This was a profound lesson he learned after becoming the Lord of Jiangdong. To this day, there are still scars left in Sun Quan's heart.

Get rid of the confinement of the Jiangdong nobles in Wu County, jump out of the circle, and then defeat them one by one, and finally dissolve the Jiangdong noble system. This is the strategy Zhou Yu pointed out to Sun Quan.

The core point is Jianye.

Using the Xu family was actually an unreliable idea of ​​Sun Quan's, because when Sun Quan thought he could win over the wealthy clans with friendship, he found that the wealthy clans did not pay attention to friendship at all and only used interests as the criterion for consideration.

This is unfair, especially against Sun Quan's fairness.

Before marrying Xu, Sun Quan thought his move was a brilliant one. Because he felt that there was no closer relationship than binding a wealthy family to him. When Sun Quan also became a wealthy family in Jiangdong, he naturally became the center of interests representing Jiangdong. But in fact, when he actually did this, he found that the Jiangdong wealthy family ignored this at all.

The Xu family is still the Xu family, the Zhu family is still the Zhu family, the same is true for the Lu family, the Gu family, etc.

The Han Dynasty did not have the concept of a country, only the concept of Tianxia, ​​and this concept was extended from the two sentences "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers." Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, The interests of the "family and the world" are above all else. Maintaining the interests of the family means maintaining the interests of the world. These two concepts are equal in the minds of many Han people. Basically, all gentry children regard this as the highest code of conduct.

The emperor is the head of the family, and the local wealthy families are the heads of the small family.

Liu Xie is a patriarch who has taken the title of emperor but has not yet shown his strength. He has not even straightened out the relationships within the family, so no one will take Liu Xie seriously.

Naturally, no one would take Sun Quan seriously as the head of the family who took the title of Lord of Jiangdong.

Until now.

Sun Quan started to take action. He was not the same as his usual eagerness to go into battle, and his impetuous tactics were different. He adopted a conspiracy that left the powerful Jiangdong nobles helpless. Only then did these Jiangdong nobles really look at Sun Quan, and It was time to negotiate terms with Sun Quan. Before that, most of the time, the Jiangdong nobles did not bother to negotiate terms with Sun Quan. After all, children should not be nagging about adults' matters.

Of course, Chen Wu's death also played a certain role.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.

After Mrs. Xu asked that question, both of them fell silent.

"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. ” After a moment, Sun Quan said, “The construction industry is only to defend the north of the Yangtze River and keep enemies away. It is also to better defend Wu County and protect the east of the Yangtze River. 』

Mrs. Xu still had that gentle look, but her words seemed a little cold, "Don't you even tell the truth now, husband?" 』

"This is the truth. Sun Quan smiled and said, "You and I are one husband and wife. Don't pay attention to those outsiders' gossip." 』

"So, it's my fault? ” Mrs. Xu was not angry or impatient.

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and smiled and said, "Madam is right." 』

"Why do you say that?" ” asked Mrs. Xu.

Sun Quan gestured, "Even if Jianye is completed, wouldn't it be better?" I am in Jianye, and my wife is in Wu County. Together, you and I will be able to break even gold! 』

Mrs. Xu stared at Sun Quan, "Do you really mean what your husband said?" 』

"nature. ” Sun Quan nodded.

Mrs. Xu also nodded, "Well, the sages have said that you should not avoid relatives when promoting a virtuous person. I am a strong and brave brother, and can protect my husband's safety. How about letting her be driven by my husband and go with him to build a career?" 』

Sun Quan's eyes were slightly cold, but the chill quickly disappeared. "It's a pity that I don't have military merit by my side. I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to obey." Madam, you know that these soldiers are illiterate and cannot speak the truth. Only military merit can convince the public..."

"Then let him have military merit." "Mrs. Xu said slowly, "I heard that Wuling Shanyue is causing trouble again? 』

Sun Quan pondered for a moment, "Yes. Since you have this intention, go ahead, bring more people, and be careful. 』

Mrs. Xu got what she wanted, which was to smile gently, prostrate herself on the ground, and then retreat.

I don't know whether it was the wind brought by Mrs. Xu when she left, or the wind picked up again outside the house. The lights beside Sun Quan swayed, making the shadows on Sun Quan's face colorful.

If your butt is different, your head will be different, and your face will naturally be different too.

If the butt and the head are different, does the butt betray the head, or does the head betray the butt?

But no matter who betrayed whom, it actually doesn't matter, because the butt is never the head, and the reverse is possible.

When Sun Quan was sitting in the darkness, savoring the taste of loneliness, he must not have considered whether his behavior was scum. He would only think about how he could make things easier, how to obtain, how to get more, how to Let others cooperate with you. Just like buying a bus ticket means that the bus can stop at will. When getting on the high-speed train, you have to cooperate with yourself when to open the door and when to close it.

Because I have given money, and indeed I have paid a little bit, I must be enshrined as God, Buddha, and other similar gods that are high above people, without any disobedience. This idea exists not only in Sun Quan's heart, but also in the hearts of many other people. As for whether the efforts and gains are equal and whether there is an inevitable connection, Scumbag Quan doesn't care.

Being a scumbag does not just belong to men. After all, regardless of the facts, there are girls in the north and girls who take pictures in the south. Being a scumbag is a state and a disease. It is a mental illness that seems to think that the whole world should revolve around you.

Lu Xun didn’t have time to get this disease.

Being surrounded by tigers, leopards and jackals, Lu Xun was very satisfied to be able to survive, grow up, and have a place to stick his head out to breathe. He really didn't care about any grievances.

If you are in the wrong, don't immediately change your position and start saying that the other person's attitude is not good without talking about reason. After all, anyone who can sit down and reason with you should be lucky, at least the other person is still willing to accompany you to reason...

But in the real world, the weak eat the strong. Who has ever seen a wolf and a sheep talking about each other?

Do you really think that if you sing the lyrics, the wolf will fall in love with the sheep?

What are you crazy about?

Lu Xun now felt that Zhu Zhi was terminally ill. In order to avoid being infected by Zhu Zhi's illness, he just pretended not to have heard all the rumors that Zhu Zhi had released.

Lu Ji quietly slipped in from the door, shining with starlight.

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Is everything done?" 』

Lu Ji replied: "It's all done... I mean, this is..."

In front of Lu Xun, there was a jar of wine.

Although the wine jar has been cleaned, there is still some dirt on it.

The jar has been broken.

There are two bowls on the table with wine in them.

Lu Xun looked at the wine jar with a faint look in his eyes, "Yes, this is the wine from back then." 』

Lu Ji pondered slightly and sat down, "No matter how good the wine was back then, I have forgotten what it tastes like now." 』

Lu Xun smiled, "As long as we don't forget, that's enough." 』

Not everyone likes to play as a forward, but many times it is because there is no way to say it directly. Just like this time Lu Xun served as the third batch of military commanders in Jiangdong, the superficial and actual goals were not consistent, so it was impossible to say it.

If Zhu Zhi is full of stomach, it is impossible to say it clearly.

After all, what is on the table needs dazzling clothes, and what is hidden in the belly is the colorful intestines.

The jar of wine placed in front of Lu Xun was dug out of the ground.

"The Zhu family has sent rice to everyone..." Lu Ji clicked his tongue twice, "It's so shameless... It's like we all depend on him for food..."

"Zhu Junli is a general." Lu Xun said slowly, "There is no doubt about this." 』

"Then you have to be more careful. Lu Ji said in a deep voice, "Even if we have said hello in advance, the Zhu family will definitely suppress you with military discipline..."

"If everything really follows the military rules," Lu Xun smiled, "I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that not following the rules will be troublesome..."

Lu Ji was silent for a while, "At least there is still some flavor in this jar of wine... although there is not much left..."

Lu Xun nodded and said, "There are indeed not many." But when you come back, you can bury new wine. 』

"It's just hard work for you." ” Lu Ji held his hands in front of him as a gift.

Lu Xun reached out and patted Lu Ji's arm, "It's not easy at home either. You have to watch Maodi and be careful not to get him into trouble. 』

If among the three Lu Xun, who is most likely to be caught or lured into something, it is naturally Lu Mao. You are young and energetic, and if you get caught with a secondary disease, there are really no youth protection laws in the current era, and no one will care about depression afterwards. It’s interesting to say that the victim is not depressed, but the perpetrator is depressed afterwards?

"I understand," Lu Ji raised his head and laughed twice, then picked up the wine bowl, "Then it's you and me who are drinking today." 』

"Maodi is still young," Lu Xun nodded and picked up the wine bowl, "I'll call him next time." 』

The two raised their wine bowls and drank the wine in one gulp.
