This is Lu Xun's first time as an envoy of Jiangdong.
After the opinions of the civil affairs and the military were unified, many things became simple.
Young people always like to overestimate themselves and face the world optimistically. This is not a bad thing, and it is also a rare quality and only remaining innocence for young people. Then young people will be slapped in the cold society again and again, until they begin to drop the optimism and innocence in their hands, start to curl up their fists, raise them up to cover their skin.
Most teenagers can only taste the "casting" of society after leaving their families, but Lu Xun does not need it.
Because Lu Xun had no parents when he was very young, he could directly feel the storm from all directions even in his family.
Children whose parents die are usually miserable.
Generally speaking, such children have no good future, but a few who have withstood the pressure will look even more amazing than children of the same age.
For example, Zhuge, and Lu Xun.
The days of living under someone else's roof will become the driving force for these people.
The difficulty of relying on others will become the soil for these people to mature.
At least Lu Xun now, he understood that his identity was an important reason for becoming the envoy of Jiangdong this time...
And he must make good use of such an identity.
young people.
Lu Xun is not reckless, but he can pretend to be reckless. After all, young people are more reckless, which is understandable.
Cao Cao and Sun Quan have now become allies to jointly resist Chang'an Feiqian. They are in a honeymoon period between each other, which not only increases the intensity of trade, but also provides more conveniences to maintain communication between the two sides.
When Lu Xun came to Xu County, he would release the whole way, and would not set up checkpoints everywhere and check in the same way as before.
Therefore, Lu Xun directly acted very anxious, as if the Jiangdong coalition forces had been defeated and urgently needed Cao's help.
Of course, if Cao's army tried to inquire, Lu Xun would flatly deny it.
Lu Xun knew that because of the lack of information, most ordinary people believe whatever others say, because they can only accept this information. Relatively speaking, people with higher positions and more information do not like to believe what others say. These people like to believe more about what they see and what they hear...
Lu Xun gave these people a chance to "see" and "listen" themselves.
So shortly after Lu Xun arrived in Xu County, there were vague rumors that although Jiangdong won in Yidao, he lost in the process of moving forward.
Especially when Lu Xun was eager to meet Prime Minister Cao Cao, this kind of rumor seemed to be a little more credible.
People from later generations stood on the shoulders of historical giants and knew what Lu Xun was, but how could people in Xu County now think that Lu Xun would become the governor of Jiangdong in the future?
An orphan whose parents died, a young man who was excluded to the edge, an inexperienced messenger who was responsible for the first time on missions, and a child of a gentry who was slightly frivolous but well-educated. These were the outer robes that Lu Xun put on himself. Then he hid under these outer robes and coldly observed the whole area of ​​Xu County.
The soldiers of the Cao army were very handsome and had strict rules and regulations. They were usually very serious when on duty, unlike the soldiers of Jiangdong who liked to come together to chat together. Of course, the equipment was better than the soldiers of Jiangdong. The iron armor was directly equipped with the sergeant commander, and even the leader in Jiangdong might not have a piece of iron armor.
Of course, there are also climate and environmental factors. After all, Jiangdong is hot and there are many naval forces. If it is really equipped with iron armor, it will not be said whether it will become a weight if it accidentally falls into the water. The maintenance of iron armor in this daily life alone may take a lot of time, and there will be much higher losses than that in the north...
Lu Xun just envied the morale and training of the Cao army soldiers shown in Xu County, and he also realized two other problems. This is Xu County, and perhaps the Cao army soldiers in other places cannot be as good as they are here. Another problem made Lu Xun even more worried, because even such an exquisite Cao army was still suppressed by the General of the Cavalry...
As for the officials in Xu County, the top level is very smart, but the middle level is the middle level...
He came with a proud look, and he would definitely bring a servant or follower to introduce him, "This one is so-and-so..."
If you are a family with official positions and titles, you can add them to your head.
Every time at this time, Lu Xun would be surprised and saluted respectfully, "It turned out to be XXX! Bribery!"
Well, that's right, put some Jiangdong local specialties on the way, and then these officials will immediately become more friendly, indicating that Lu Xun had just arrived in Xu County and was not used to the customs and land, so he could rest more. When the Prime Minister had time, he would naturally summon Lu Xun.
Lu Xun responded as he was still stupid.
He knew Cao Cao was delaying.
The reason for the delay is not complicated, that is, Cao Cao did not make up his mind.
Unlike the inexplicable sense of geographical superiority inherent in Jiangdong, Cao Cao, who was located in the four battles in the Central Plains, especially after his back was stabbed again and again, he would not be careful.
This is very interesting...
Because Lu Xun discovered that in Cao Cao's side, the upper, middle and lower levels were completely disconnected.
The people on the upper level are very cautious and smart. They are like tigers and leopards. They do not appear openly or easily waste their physical strength. They always lie in the grass and hide murderous intent.
The middle layer is like a dog, and there are also disobedient dogs. If there is dog food, it will never stop if you don’t eat it. The only thing you care about is their own dog pot, which is always protected and grinned at every guy who is approaching.
The people in the lower class are not even as good as dogs.
Of course, Jiangdong is not much better.
However, the situation in Xu County’s people’s livelihood and political affairs is somewhat incompatible with Cao Cao’s performance on military soldiers…
One of the two clogs is old and worn very hard, while the other one is new. Although they can still wear it and walk it, they are a bit weird and cannot match it, and the height is different.
In Jiangdong, both clogs were rotten, but only the surface of the navy was brighter, just like a layer of new paint was applied to the old clogs.
On the fifth day after Lu Xun arrived in Xu County, Cao Cao finally issued an order to receive Lu Xun.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is grand and grand, with bright flags.
Whether it is the armored soldiers in the hall or under the steps, they are all majestic and powerful, with shiny armored stomachs.
Lu Xun looked around and calmly stepped forward to pay homage to Cao Cao. His etiquette was straightforward, standardized and impeccable.
Then the two sides entered a boring but necessary part of greeting each other, just like a greeting for the New Year in the future. First, they changed from phone to text messages, then from text messages to WeChat, and then they said that only DingTalk check-in was left...
Now this is the first time Lu Xun has seen Cao Cao, and he can't help but glance at Cao Cao slightly, then quickly lowers his eyelids and pretends to be a good baby.
Cao Cao would also look at Lu Xun and then estimate Lu Xun's weight.
Cao Cao narrowed his famous little eyes, smiling. After the polite greetings, his beard moved slightly. Liu Ye, who was responsible for the counter-interference of foreign affairs, smiled and said loudly: "Is there any good news from Jiangdong when Lu is here?"
good news?
The victory of Jiangdong in the place where the barbaric path can indeed be said to be a good news, but that's all.
Lu Xun blinked and knew it in his heart. Although he was in Jiangdong, he had more or less heard about the previous battle between Cao Cao and Fei Qian. Although Cao Cao's side claimed to have won a great victory in Jingzhou and also held a grand celebration. Well, the so-called great victory celebration was not only once in Jingzhou, but the actual situation was not exactly the same as the official claims. Simply put, the Battle of Yidao was the only major defeat by the Cavalry on the front battlefield for such a long time.
As Cao Cao's side in Xu County, who had fought against Fei Qian many times, they failed to defeat Fei Qian, but let Jiangdong take the lead. Even if they could comfort themselves, they said it was a navy, not a cavalry, but everyone knew that in front of Tie and Blood, such self-comfort was like a manual transmission, empty and lonely...
Lu Xun smiled slightly, with a little bit of reserve and shyness that young people often said, "There is indeed good news, I would like to congratulate you with the Prime Minister."
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, then his eyes floated to the side, and he didn't stop on his mouth, "This... Could it be that your army has won a great victory again?"
"That's right." Lu Xun pretended not to see Liu Ye's eyes fluttering, then turned to Cao Cao and said seriously, "Report to the Prime Minister, my lord will win westward and win another city. Now the army has advanced one after another, and the fish will be restored soon."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, not saying anything.
Liu Ye's smile froze. He did not focus on military affairs. Although he was concerned about it on weekdays, he did not care too much. Therefore, when Lu Xun said this, Liu Ye immediately did not know the truth or falsehood, and it was difficult to continue to respond. If he said he knew, it would be equivalent to admitting that Jiangdong won another victory. Boss Cao's face was even worse. If he said he didn't know, and not to mention the suspicion of delay in news, he might also show his own timidity.
Guo Jia, who was sitting on the side of Liu Ye, seemed to raise his hand casually and stroke his beard.
Cao Cao nodded slightly.
Liu Ye immediately understood and chuckled, "If this is the case, it is really gratifying."
Lu Xun's eyes stopped on Guo Jia for a moment, then turned to Cao Cao, "Prime Minister, foreign ministers have heard that the mentor of Yangmen died in the past, and Sichengzi rarely came in and cried, so they should not be attacked. In ancient times, there was a theory of shared hatred and sharing the enemy, let alone the present day? My lord of Jiangdong asked for hundreds of clinics, and he was earnest and sincere. He hoped that hundreds of doctors could support their deaths and save the generals, but the cavalry refused them, which shows how he was doing the right thing. The poem says, "What is the death? I'm trying to ask for it, and when the people are mourning, they crawl to save it." I wonder what the Prime Minister wants?"
The expression on Cao Cao's face still seemed to have not changed much. "I know the meaning of the envoy Lu."
Cao Cao neither nodded in agreement nor objected, but only expressed his understanding.
This made people feel a little anxious.
If it is just to inform Cao Cao of the progress of the Jiangdong Navy, would Lu Xun need to go this way?
And if Lu Xun really had to Cao Cao like this, he had only one sentence "I know", and what would he say when he went back to Jiangdong?
Lu Xun took a long breath. He knew that he was still younger and not calm enough. He threw out the cards too early, allowing the cunning Cao Cao to see some truths and truths.
You can't give up because of this!
"Prime Minister," took a breath one after another, and he was about to go to the front. "Foreign ministers also know that the Prime Minister and the Cavalry each have their own victory or defeat. I wonder if there are any good words and methods to teach them to Jiangdong and teach them to the foreign ministers?"
As soon as Lu Xun said this, the atmosphere in the hall became tense immediately. Many generals of the Cao Xiahou clan, including Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, focused their attention on Lu Xun.
If we talk about the dispute between Cao Cao and Fei Qian, the winners are mostly with Fei Qian and the losers are mostly with Cao Cao, and it is indeed considered that Cao Cao and Fei Qian have their own victory or defeat.
So, as Cao Cao, who has suffered a lot of "debt", can he teach Jiangdong what wonderful strategies and experiences? Could it be that he would talk about how to form the "All Under the City"?
So when Lu Xun said this, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many generals of the Cao family Xiahou. If Cao Cao had not glanced at him in time and smoothed his hands, he might have jumped up on the spot...
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Xun. He really looked down on Lu Xun. After all, Old Cao didn't even look down on Zhou Yu, but he thought that Sun Shiwan, a prodigal son, had the style of his son, how could he be favored by Zhou Yu's substitute? Now Lu Xun is just sitting on the bench?

Of course, if Zhou Yu or Lu Xun expressed that he was willing to turn to Cao Cao's command, Cao Cao would immediately show another face, allowing him to feel what the warmth of spring and enthusiasm of summer are. But whether it is Zhou Yu or Lu Xun, it is obvious that it is impossible to "abandon darkness and turn to light", so Cao Cao's attitude is naturally to ignore it.
After all, it is usually just others licking Cao Cao. When Cao Cao really licks someone, it only once or twice.
Lu Xun couldn't rank at all.
But now Cao Cao re-examines Lu Xun.
Not to mention anything else, this courage is a bit fat...
It's considered a talent.
Cao Cao naturally knew what Lu Xun said before, but this does not mean that Cao Cao would follow Jiangdong's meaning. If Lu Xun was timid today and was sent away in a few words, Cao Cao would really look down on Lu Xun. Even if he met Lu Xun in the future, he would not take him seriously.
What Cao Cao wants is dominance.
Even if Jiangdong wins, Cao Cao is still the leader.
This is true at the moment. Even if Jiangdong wins victory in the navy, what can it do? Will the Jiangdong army always stay on the ship and not get off the ship? After getting off the ship, what other advantages can the Jiangdong navy have?
The power of the cavalry was not in the navy from the beginning. Since this is the case, Jiangdong won the cavalry with his own strength, how many things can be praised for? Or did he want to turn around and point fingers at Cao Cao's military in this regard with just two or three naval battles? This is obviously impossible, and Cao Cao would not agree at all.
This is the biggest and most fundamental point of the differences in interests between the two sides.
"If it is a good strategy, it is impossible to say it. But if there are two words to say good words..." Cao Cao said slowly, looking at Lu Xun who pretended to be well-behaved, and said meaningfully, "It is just "caution."
Lu Xun subconsciously muttered the words. He couldn't react at the beginning, but he was stunned!
Cao Cao waved his hand, "This is the end of today! As for the affairs of the two families, I will discuss it next time."
When Cao Cao spoke, even if Lu Xun had a lot of words, he couldn't say it. After all, this was not a TV movie. When the characters were performing, everyone else had to listen quietly and keep the radio clean and accurate. Now this is the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Cao Cao said the same thing and did not want to continue listening to what he said one after another, Lu Xun could only shut up obediently.
Cao Cao raised points or warned Lu Xun in this way.
If Jiangdong wants to continue discussing, he will go back and think about it carefully and bring some real money next time.
Lu Xun had no choice but to salute Cao Cao and dismissed him.
Cao Cao watched Lu Xun leave, looked around and said slowly, "Everyone, I received the news yesterday..."
Except for a few strategists who had long known what Cao Cao said, most of the people were attracted by Cao Cao's attention, and their eyes were closely gathered on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked around and said the second half, "The cavalry army, traveling 800 times a day, has arrived in Longxi."
The words are very simple.
But the facts contained in it are not simple at all.
Of course, the so-called eight hundred, one thousand, etc. are generally false fingers, and it may not be accurate to eight hundred or one thousand. It is just that this is used to indicate that the speed of the cavalry is very fast. When Cao Cao received this news, he was also very surprised because it was completely beyond Cao Cao's expectations.
It’s not that the Cavalry sent troops to surprise Cao Cao, but that the cavalry’s marching speed surprised Cao Cao.
The cavalry is truly worthy of being the cavalry.
The larger the number of troops, the slower the speed of travel.
The soldiers who urgently convey military information can be expedited at 800 miles, but it does not mean that the entire army, tens of thousands of people, can be expedited at 800 miles together...
Unless there are already a long time ago equipped with relevant replacement war horses and a large amount of stored materials along the way.
The most important thing is the training and cooperation between soldiers.
Just like a person running five thousand meters or ten thousand meters, no matter whether it is running fast or slow, you only need to be prepared to serve one person, and the service time is also very short, but what if it is ten thousand people? In addition to the extension of distance and road restrictions, how many people should prepare for these services? How to arrange them, etc. will be magnified, and the difficulty will increase geometrically.
Most of the people present had some military experience, or were directly commanding soldiers, so these people understood that Cao Cao's simple narrative contained not simple problems.
Many people have a thought.
