Chapter 938

,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Mr. Li thought we were, who did you think we were?" Lu Xun asked with a smile.

County Magistrate Li was simply confused. This was in the heart of Yuyao County and Kuaiji County. An army of unknown origin appeared. It was not Shanyue people, nor He Qi's army, nor the Jiangdong army. He was confused and looked at Lu Xun blankly.

Lu Xun smiled, "We are the Han army."

"Han Army" County Magistrate Li took a breath of air conditioning, his legs were a little weak. The other party turned out to be Han Army, and he had the urge to turn around and want to run away.

At this time, when Lou Fa saw that he looked pitiful, he stepped forward and smiled and patted his shoulder, "Mr. Li, please take us to stay. Han army has strict military discipline. Magistrate Li should feel glad."

County Magistrate Li's heart suddenly relaxed. The general was right. The Han army had strict military disciplines and would not burn, kill and loot like Cao's army or Shanyue people. After all, he was the county magistrate, and he had some knowledge and knew what he should do.

"I understand, please follow me."

County Magistrate Li led the Han army to Dongcheng and pointed to a large area of ​​houses without lights and said, "There are only empty houses here. As long as there are houses without lights, you can move in, just hope not to damage the things in the house."

Lou Fa immediately ordered the soldiers to live in the house. County Magistrate Li said to Lu Xun tremblingly: "This general said he wanted to buy food, but there was no need. The official warehouse grain had two parts: military food and official grain. You can get a thousand stones of official grain, but I dare not collect money."

Seeing that he didn't know him, Lu Xun couldn't help but ask, "I'm Lu Boyan, Wujun, you really don't know me."

County Magistrate Li was shocked, "You are Governor Lu."

"That's right, have you never seen me?"

County Magistrate Li was so scared that he wanted to kneel down and Lu Xun supported him, "I am no longer the governor of the Jiangdong Army. I have surrendered to the Han State. County Magistrate Li doesn't have to be too polite."

Hearing that the other party was Lu Xun, County Magistrate Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Li Zi is from Qiantang. He has been to Jianye several times, but he has not seen Governor Lu. He has only heard of Daming for a long time. How could you come from the east?"

This is a question that County Magistrate Li has been holding back for a long time. Now that he finally asked, Lu Xun smiled and said, "We are here by boat in Yanguan County."

Lu Xun didn't want to tell him the truth, so he just asked for a reason. County Magistrate Li suddenly looked like this. Yanguan County was just across from Qiantang Bay. If it was a boat, it would be nearby. His doubts were eliminated and he hurriedly said, "I'm going to arrange food, Governor Lu will go and rest first."

Lu Xun told him a few more words before walking towards the lobby. He also had to discuss the march with Lou Fa, and there were still many things to do.

County Magistrate Li hurried back to the county yard, found the county magistrate and more than a dozen yamen runners, and ordered them to open an official warehouse to get grain. A thousand stones of grain was a lot, and they had to collect civil servants. Just when County Magistrate Li was busy in the warehouse, a yamen runner rushed over and whispered a few words in his ear. County Magistrate Li was so scared that he shivered all over and his hands hit the ground.

At this time, someone walked in from outside. He looked at the civilian who was carrying food and asked coldly: "Mr. Li is going to give the food to the Han army."

This person was Yu Wang. He and He Jing led their troops to Yin County, but they heard that an army had entered Yuyao County. They immediately realized that this was the landing Han army. He Jing was stationed outside the city, and Yu Wang first entered the city to explore the truth and reality.

County Magistrate Li was so scared that he had to go forward and bite his teeth and said, "The Han army is stationed in the city, and the humble ranks the people in the city. If they do not give food, it will be even more terrible for them to loot. Moreover, Governor Lu said he wanted to buy food."

"Is Lu Boyan here too?"

"He is the leader."

Yu Wang pondered for a moment and said, "You go and invite Lu Boyan, I will wait for him in the county government and say I have something to say to him."

County Magistrate Li ran away, and Yu Wang turned around and went to the county government. Soon, Lu Xun hurried to the county government with County Magistrate Li. County Magistrate Li did not dare to participate in their conversation, so he went to the warehouse again. Only Yu Wang and Lu Xun were left in the inner hall.

Lu Xun asked with a smile: "Uncle Shi is going back to his ancestral land to visit?"

The Yu family is from Yuyao, but most of the families have moved to Shanyin County, the county seat. There are only some remote branches left in Yuyao’s old house. Yu Wang shook his head and said, “I am not here to visit the ancestral home, I am going to Yin County to greet you on the order of General He Qi. There are also a thousand troops stationed outside the city, led by the second general He Jing.”

"So he's here too."

Lu Xun and He Jing had fought several times, and both of them were defeated. He knew that He Jing was a man who held revenge. After he took power in the military, he also killed all the family of those who offended him as a child. He was famous for revenge in Jiangdong. If he saw him, he might not be willing to give up.

Lu Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Shi Shu knows that all the great families in Wu County have been loyal to the King of Han."

Yu Wang was stunned. He only knew that the Lu family surrendered to the Han Dynasty because of Lu Xun, but the other two families did not know. He hesitated and asked, "Does the Gu family and the Zhang family?"

"Gu Yong's nephew Gu Yu went to Jingzhou for many years and has not returned yet. It is rumored that he studied at Lumen Academy, but in fact he participated in the open recruitment of scholars in Jingzhou, the eighth place in high school. He became the chief clerk of Zigui County at the age of seventeen. He has been promoted to Yufu County Magistrate of Badong and is also the youngest county magistrate in the Han Dynasty. Uncle Shi doesn't know."

Yu Wang shook his head. He knew nothing. Lu Xun said again: "As for the Zhang family, I have seen two handwritten letters written by Zhang Wen to the King of Han on the table of Han."

Speaking of this, Lu Xun sighed and said, "They are not as ostentatious as the Lu family, and they are low-key and secretive. If I hadn't been loyal to the King of Han, I would have known nothing about these things at all, but it's right to think about it. How long can the Sun Jiangdong last now?"

Because the Jiangsu and Zhejiang families are relatively stable, they are rarely affected by war, and they have been passed down for two thousand years without dispersing. To this day, Gu and Lu are still a big family in Suzhou, and the Yu family in Zhejiang have emerged in many talents for thousands of years. The nobles inherit power and the genius inherited. This is also the root cause of the continuous development of the Chinese culture for five thousand years.

But aristocratic families also have a narrow point, that is, they value the interests of the family too much. For example, the five surnames and seven hopes of the Sui and Tang dynasties lasted for several years and still flourished after countless dynasties, because in their hearts, the interests of the family are far higher than the interests of the country and dynasties.

This also made the dynasty change in the Han and Ming dynasties more frequently than in any Ming dynasty, and the people's disasters became more serious.

The Yu family is actually the same. The origin of the name of Yuyao County is the two major surnames of Yuyao. The Yu family is the most prominent family in Kuaiji. The head of the family Yu Fan was the first to be loyal to Wang Lang in Kuaiji. When Wang Lang was wiped out by Sun Ce, Yu Fan did not follow Wang Lang in exile, but directly surrendered to Sun Ce.

Not only the Yu family, but also the entire Jiangdong family were similar. Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao led tens of thousands of troops south, and Jiangdong was filled with voices of inviting surrender. Only Lu Su's words woke Sun Quan up.

The reason is very simple, because the interests of the family are higher than those of the Jiangdong regime. The Sun regime is just a big tree that the Jiangdong families depend on. When this tree is shaking, the families with shade will naturally not live or die with the big tree. This was the case when Cao Cao was strong back then, but now Liu Jing is strong, and it is actually the case.

Lu Xun is a junior of the aristocratic family. Of course, he is very clear about the thoughts of the Yu family, who is also aristocratic family in Kuaiji. He said it implicitly, but it was very thorough. He used the choice of the Wujun family to remind Yu Wang that there is no need for heavy hammers to ring drums. As long as Lu Xun talks about the key points, he will naturally wake up Yu Wang.

Yu Wang was silent. He understood Lu Xun's deep meaning. Last year, he went to Chang'an on behalf of He Qi to meet King Liu Jing of Han. Liu Jing treated him very well, but Liu Jing said it very clearly, not because He Qi respected him, but because of the Yu family of Kuaiji. In Liu Jing's heart, the Yu family of Kuaiji is far more important than He Qi.

Moreover, his brother Yu Fan wrote letters more than once to persuade him that He Qi was the one who killed the Lord, and no prince would tolerate such a minister. Following him would not have a good result. In fact, Yu Wang was not loyal to He Qi, but to protect his family, he had to do things for He Qi.

Now that the Sun family has declined, Liu Jing is becoming increasingly powerful, and he is under the banner of restoring the Han Dynasty, occupying the moral high ground and gaining support from all families in the world. It is only a matter of time before the Han army can purge Jiangdong. How could Yu Wang not consider the future of the family?

Thinking of this, Yu Wang sighed and asked in a low voice: "What is His Highness the King of Han going to do with Kuaiji County?"

Seeing that he had been moved by him, Lu Xun also told him frankly, "Didn't you see Sun Shao when Uncle Shi came to Dinghai City last time?"

It turned out that Sun Shao was also in Dinghai City. Yu Wang suddenly realized, "Is it possible that the King of Han wants to make Sun Shao the Lord of Jiangdong?"

"If there is no mountain, there will be no more masters in Jiangdong. All counties are directly under the Han State. Sun Shao will be the governor of Kuaiji and Shishu will be the county magistrate. The Han King will treat Sun well for the sake of Princess Shangxiang."

Yu Wangran was silent. Sun Shao was Sun Cedu. As long as Sun Shao was preserved, he could finally win over the Jiangdong military. The King of Han was indeed very clever, and Sun Shao was just a weak scholar. Letting him be a guardian of Kuaiji was just a name, and being a county magistrate was the only way to control Kuaiji.

Thinking of this, Yu Wang's heart suddenly became hot and his eyes became bright. Since Sun Shao was appointed as the guardian of Kuaiji, it would not be so easy for the Han army to pass through. He stared at Lu Xun with hope.

Lu Xun smiled, "The chaos in Kuaiji has been in chaos for several years. People are determined. We must follow the people's will. This time we transit north. I hope the He brothers can come to Zhejiang River to see him off. How can we persuade He Qi? We have to count on Uncle Shi."
