Chapter 1368: Gu Lu, Zhou Zhang, 4 Surnames in Wu County

Bai Xiaowen secretly summoned Cai Zhong, Cai He and his brothers.

"After entering Jingzhou alone, you Cai clan members have never been rewarded. You must have a lot of opinions in your heart, right?"

Cai Zhong and Cai He were shocked, and hurriedly said: "We admire the great king Tianwei, how dare we hold grudges?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Okay, you don't have to be afraid. It's a great achievement for the former to not reward you, and you two have to take it yourself. If you can succeed, your future power and status will definitely not be inferior to Cai Mao. "

Cai Zhong and Cai He were overjoyed, so they carefully asked what the credit was.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Gu wants to conquer Jiangdong, and he lacks an internal response. The two of you can cross the river secretly and go to Jiangdong, saying that you have been treated coldly by Gu and harbor resentment; Sun Ce will definitely not doubt it. Then secretly pass on Jiangdong's military information, and wait until Gu When Jiangdong is pacified, I will bestow great wealth on you."

Cai Zhong and Cai He hesitated at first, but seeing Bai Xiaowen's majestic face, they dared not refuse, so they could only kneel down and accept the order.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Be careful, both of you. Don't have two minds, but give Gu Gu a false military report. If you delay the fighter, you will be dealt with by military law."

Cai Zhong and Cai He hastily swore an oath to the sky and said, "The two of my family members are both in Jingzhou, how dare we betray them?"

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said a few words of comfort, Cai Zhong and Cai He took orders and left.

In the team channel, Li Shuyi asked: "In Romance, these two people were also sent to Jiangdong as spies by Cao Cao."

Bai Xiaowen nodded.

"Didn't these two people be seen through? Zhou Yu used them to pass false information and killed Jiqi before the decisive battle." Li Shuyi blinked.

Bai Xiaowen nodded again.

"Then why do you still send them to die?" Li Shuyi asked.

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "I don't like the information that Cai Zhong and Cai He sent back, no matter whether it is true or not. However, Zhou Yu thinks that Cai Zhong and Cai He can be used to pass false information to us. This is enough If a character as delicate as Zhou Yu is not revealed to him, how can he follow the pace I expect?"

...

In Jiangdong, inside Sun Ce's tent, the atmosphere was chilling.

Sun Ce, dressed in military attire, sat on the chief seat, with Zhou Yu sitting beside him; in front of them, a young Confucian scholar was escorted by Sun Ce's personal soldiers.

Although the young Confucian scholar forced himself to be calm, someone as sensitive as Zhou Yu could still see the nervousness he tried to hide.

Sun Ce said sharply: "The big battle is imminent, and the Lu family doesn't think about making progress. Instead, they turn their backs to the enemy and talk about surrendering! Now that the witnesses have confirmed it, what else do you have to say, Lu Jun?"

The young Confucian scholar named Lu Jun was overwhelmed by Sun Ce's majesty, and couldn't help taking a step back.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the tent.

A sergeant came to report: "My lord, there are many people outside the tent asking to see you, and they even sent invitations."

Sun Ce ordered someone to accept the greeting card. There are four greeting cards in total. After reading it, Sun Ce couldn't help but frowned and snorted.

Zhou Yu took the invitation and said after reading it, "This is the Jiangdong gentry, and they have come to intercede for the Lu family."

Sun Ce snorted and said, "Gu Lu, Zhou Zhang, four surnames in Wu County. Most of the gentry in Jiangdong are married, and they are connected with each other. It's true."

Zhou Yu said: "The battle is imminent, and the forces of the Jiangdong gentry are intricately intertwined, so we must not be careless. Let them come in.

"

What needs to be explained is that although Zhou Yu's surname is Zhou, he is not a member of the Zhou family in Jiangdong, but a native of Lujiang (now Anhui), a trusted general of the Huaisi line under Sun Ce's command.

Soon, several Confucian scholars entered, all of whom were representatives of the Jiangdong gentry.

After seeing the ceremony, these people reported their families.

It goes without saying that Gu Yong, Zhou Fang, and Zhang Wen are representatives of Gu, Zhou, and Zhang respectively.

As for the Lu family, two people came.

One is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with elegant and handsome appearance, and a tall and straight figure; the other is only eleven or twelve years old, but has a calm demeanor, which is different from ordinary children.

Sun Ce said: "You Lu Clan, the patriarch Lu Jun is already here, why did you send someone here?"

The handsome Confucian scholar of seventeen or eighteen years old said: "Uncle is in trouble, and we are so anxious that we come here. No matter what mistakes uncle has, I would like to replace him with my own body."

Sun Ce saw that the Confucian scholar answered fluently, compared to Lu Jun, so he couldn't help but became interested, and said, "Who are you?"

The handsome Confucian scholar cupped his hands in a salute: "I'm Lu Xun, and my name is Boyan." Then he introduced the child beside him: "This is the clan uncle Lu Ji."

Sun Ce laughed and said, "This is where adults discuss military plans. What are you doing here?"

Lu Ji cupped his hands and saluted with a crisp voice: "As the saying goes: Aspirations do not lie in old age, and no ambitions lead to a hundred years of life. Xiang Tuo was a teacher of saints at the age of seven, and Gan Luo was awarded the title of Minister of Qin at twelve. Why did the general die because of his young age?" Belittle me?"

Facing Sun Ce's questioning, Lu Ji replied fluently without fear.

Zhou Yu was worried, the Jiangdong Lu clan had so many talents! If it cannot be used, the Sun family's foundation will inevitably be unstable.

At that moment, Zhou Yu coughed, brought the topic to the point, and said, "Everyone is a hero from Jiangdong. If you come together, you must have a high opinion."

Gu Yong and Zhang Wen said in unison: "I hope the two generals will let Lu Jun go."

Zhou Yu said: "Someone accuses Lu Jun of gathering a crowd for rebellion, and wants to offer Jiangdong to the Yuan family."

Lu Xun interjected, "Who testified?"

Zhou Yu ordered someone to be brought up. It turned out to be a servant of the Lu family named Zhu Ze.

Lu Xun glanced at it, then smiled and said: "This person is indeed my servant, but he behaved badly and ruined the family tradition. After being reprimanded by his uncle, he was expelled from the Lu family. It seems that he has a grudge and deliberately deceived and framed him. The two generals When the great enemy is in front of us, how can we win the Jiangdong people and serve them to death because of the villain's gossip?

Zhu Ze shouted: "No, it's not! The villain heard with his own ears that the Patriarch negotiated with a group of people, sent a letter to Jiangbei, and sought a way out! Among the people who discussed with him, I saw him!" His The finger pointed to Gu Yong.

Lu Xun's expression changed, and he said with a sneer, "It's just a one-sided statement. If the two generals believe in this villain, disregarding the words of the Jiangdong heroes, and want to wipe out the Lu family, we have nothing to say."

Just as Sun Ce was about to speak, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I know the Lu family in Jiangdong. They are not the ones who turned their backs on the master. This treacherous villain came here to make a false accusation without evidence. He has ulterior motives and can't escape the guilt. Bofu, you can order a sergeant." Behead him to comfort Lu's heart."

Sun Ce has always been obedient to Zhou Yu, and immediately waved his hand to order. Regardless of Zhu Ze's begging and begging, Sun Ce dragged him out, and it didn't take long for him to offer a head.

When Lu Jun saw this human head, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "The Sun family is in command of Jiangdong, and we still need to rely on everyone's concerted efforts to resist foreign enemies."

Seeing Zhou Yu's face-saving, Gu Yong, Zhang Wen, Zhou Fang and others naturally said a few polite words, such as fighting against foreign enemies together.

Afterwards, Gu Yong and others left. However, Zhou Yu left the three of the Lu family behind, saying that they had something to discuss.
