The soldiers under the hall brought a messenger up. Chen Jiao immediately recognized that this person was Cao Cao's personal soldier. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the Prime Minister's letter?"

The soldier took out a scroll and presented it to Chen Jiao, "This is the Prime Minister's order, please ask Mr. Chen to take a look."

Chen Jiao took the letter and looked at it, with joy in his eyes. He handed the letter to everyone to circulate it, and said with a smile: "Sun Quan was defeated in Yuzhang and is now on his way back. The Prime Minister believes that the time is ripe for us."

Everyone circulated Cao Cao's letter one by one, and they were both happy and angry. He Qi whispered: "The army is powerful, but he is defeated repeatedly. Why do such a person be the lord of Jiangdong?"

Zhu Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "It may not be necessary to raise an army immediately. We should promote the disastrous defeat of Sun Quan in Jiangdong, add fuel to the fire and arouse public anger. In this way, we have an excuse to raise an army and gain support from the people. The time is indeed ripe."

"Where are Huang Gai's side? Do we want to contact them?" Sun Ben asked.

Zhu Zhi nodded, "I want to contact you, but this has nothing to do with our uprising. Whether he agrees or not, we must act according to the normal plan."

Everyone was excited and discussed the details again, and then they dispersed. However, Zhu Zhi secretly called Sun Ben and asked him to take a carriage with him. The carriage was stalked. On the carriage, Zhu Zhi asked without hesitation: "Does the eldest son really plan to surrender to Cao Cao?"

Sun Ben sneered and said, "I am a person who failed once and will not make the same mistake again. Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Jing, they all want to control me and use me as a puppet. I want to get their support, but I will never become their puppet and betray Jiangdong."

Zhu Zhi nodded, with a smile on his face, "Cheng Pu and Han Dang, both of us agreed that we were going to replace Sun Quan instead of betraying Jiangdong. Therefore, the two generals Cheng and Han were quite dissatisfied with Chen Jiao. They refused to attend the meeting today. This is why, as long as the eldest son can grasp the principles and use Cao Cao and Liu Jing, it would be fine."

"Don't worry, my heart is like a mirror, and I will never repeat the same mistakes."

"Then I'll feel at ease. I'll tell Han and Cheng and let them feel at ease too."

The carriage accelerated and drove towards Sun Ben's mansion.

The news of the defeat of the Jiangdong army in Yuzhang spread throughout Jiangdong, causing an uproar across Jiangdong. The news said that Sun Quan was commanding randomly, resulting in the defeat of 100,000 Jiangdong troops being defeated by 20,000 Jiaozhou troops in Xinwu County. Sun Quan fled for his life and abandoned his soldiers, which wiped out the entire army of 100,000 Jiangdong troops, and the heads of Jiangdong soldiers were piled into a hill.

These news set off an angry storm on the land of Jiangdong. The people of Jiangdong were angry. They were overwhelmed by the heavy taxes, but they were so painful that the Jiangdong army could not even defeat the Jiaozhou army, and the 100,000 army was defeated by 20,000 troops. How incompetent it would be to get this fate.

The call for Sun Quan to step down resounded throughout Jiangdong, streets, fields, taverns and brothels, wherever there were people gathered, an angry soldier was scolding Sun Quan and calling on the people to rise up and resist Sun Quan's rule.

The people's strong indignation began to sweep across Jiangdong. Riots against the government occurred frequently in various parts of Jiangdong. Ten thousand people in Wu County attacked the county government, and the guard Lu Fan fled. The county government was burned down by fire. The county government governments in Danyang and Qua County were burned down. The county magistrates of the two counties were beaten to death by angry people. 20,000 soldiers in Jianye took to the streets to march, and there was a bloody conflict with the army that suppressed them, and several people died.

Just as people opposing Sun Quan's riots in various places were surging, Sun Ben, who had been silent for many years, issued a proclamation in Kuaiji County, denying Sun Quan's incompetence and harming the country, no longer recognized Sun Quan as the lord of Jiangdong. Kuaiji County formed a new Jiangdong regime, and Sun Ben took over as the title of Marquis of Wu. He abolished all the heavy taxes and taxes of Sun Quan, called on the people to support the new lord of Jiangdong, and worked together to fight against the thieves who ruined the country.

Sun Ben's edict appeared at a critical moment and immediately won applause from all over Jiangdong. The people of Kuaiji strongly supported him and donated money and grain. The young and strong men enthusiastically joined the army. In just a few days, they recruited more than 10,000 strong men.

............

In Dongwu County, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Lu family's mansion under the protection of dozens of sword-bearing guards. General Fenwei Sun Yu walked out of the carriage. Sun Yu was Sun Jingci. Sun Ce died unexpectedly that year, and there were differences and disputes within the Sun family. Sun Jing was Sun Yi, the younger brother who supported Sun Ce. Sun Yi was brave and decisive, and looked very similar to Sun Ce. He won the support of many people in the court and the public. Sun Jing was one of the important supporters.

But in the end, Sun Quan became the lord of Jiangdong, and Sun Jing withdrew from the officialdom and returned home to retire. Soon, Sun Quan used Sun Yi's confidant guard Bian Hong to get rid of Sun Yi, and Sun Jing was completely silent.

Fifteen years later, Sun Quan fell into an unprecedented ruling crisis. Many people who opposed him appeared one by one. No one knew Sun Jing's attitude, but Sun Jing and Sun Yu were the vanguard of opposing Sun Quan. He advocated returning Sun Shao to restore orthodoxy.

Sun Yu was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and burly, with high martial arts skills, extraordinary courage, and ambitious. Sun Shao was weak in character, which just met his conditions. Although Sun Yu did not hold military power, the two commanders of Wu County, Gongsun Yang and Zhu Huan, were both former subordinates of Sun Jing, and both expressed their support for Sun Shao's succession.

In addition, Sun Yu also received the support of the county magistrate Zhou Bing and gradually controlled the military and political affairs of Wu County. However, Sun Yu knew that he also needed to get the support of the Wu County family. The Wu County family, the Lu family, the Gu family and the Zhang family controlled the economic lifeline and voice of Wu County. Their disciples were spread all over Jiangdong, and the Da family itself also produced many talents and held important positions in the Jiangdong officialdom, such as Lu Kang, Lu Ji, Lu Xun, Gu Yong, Zhang Wen and others.

With the support of this great family, he has a foundation in Jiangdong. Sun Yu has visited the great family more than once. Today he came to visit the Lu family again. It was also because of the situation that Sun Ben had already raised an army and he could no longer wait.

Sun Yu's personal soldiers quickly walked up the steps and said to the doorman: "Please report to the head of the family, and say General Fenwei is here to visit."

The concierge rushed to report, and Sun Yu stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, staring at the sky. The sky was gloomy and dark clouds were covered with snow.

At this time, in the inner hall of the Lu family, several important members of the Lu family were urgently discussing countermeasures. The head of the Lu family was Lu Kangchang Lu Jun, who was about forty years old. In addition, there were also his clan brother Lu Ming, younger brother Lu Ji and Lu Li, who had just returned from Jingzhou.

Lu Jun received a quick letter from Lu Xun this morning, saying that if he returns to Jiangdong, he will be harmed by Sun Quan, so he stays in the Han army for the time being and returns to Jiangdong after the limelight is over.

Lu Xun did not mention that he had become Liu Jing's aide, nor did he tell his clan members that he surrendered to Liu Jing, but the news that Lu Xun and Sun Quan turned against each other and were trapped in the Han army was still like a bolt from the blue, which made the Lu family panic. The pillar of the Lu family, who had the most hope, was dismissed by Jiangdong. Neither Lu Jun nor Lu Ji could accept this news. You must know that Lu Xun is Sun Ce's son-in-law.

But the reality has happened, and they can't accept it. The fact that Lu Xun and Sun Quan turned against each other is there. Before Wujun became independent, they could only find ways to minimize this negative impact. Everyone had no choice but to discuss for a long time.

At this time, Lu Li, who had been silent, slowly said: "I don't think the head of the family should worry, this may not be a bad thing."

Lu Li returned to Wujun last night. As the head of the family, Lu Jun had no time to talk to him in detail. At this time, Lu Jun heard something in Lu Li's words. He immediately realized something and asked, "Brother Ting, what do you mean?"

"Because before I came back, King Han specially received me and talked to me about the Lu family."

This sentence surprised the other people at the same time. Several people looked at each other. Lu Jun couldn't help but curse himself insincerely. He knew that Lu Li was the uncle of the Princess of Han. It was entirely possible that the King of Han met Lu Li. He actually forgot about this matter. Before Lu Jun could speak, Lu Ming next to him asked impatiently: "What does the King of Han say?"

"The King of Han said that last time Jingzhou publicly recruited scholars, most of the famous families in the world sent their younger brothers to participate, but he always felt very sorry if he did not have a younger brother in the Lu family."

Lu Jun and Lu Ming looked at each other and understood this sentence very well. This is to win over the Lu family naked. As the head of the family, Lu Jun has always considered how to balance the various factions in Jiangdong. He never thought about what relationship has to do with the Han State. The reason why he valued Lu Li was because Sun Quan valued him.

At this moment, Lu Li's words suddenly made Lu Jun's eyes look like he was pushing open a window, allowing him to see a magnificent scenery he had never seen before, and his thoughts suddenly became wide open.

At this time, Lu Li smiled at Lu Ji again and said, "The King of Han asked me to treat him to Gong Ji. He missed his past relationship with Gong Ji in Xiangyang, and felt guilty for Gong Ji's leg injury. He hoped that Gong Ji would go to Chengdu for a walk, and he would personally take Gong Ji to enjoy the mountains and rivers of Bashu."

These words moved Lu Jun even more. Liu Jing had such an identity that he wanted to accompany Lu Ji to visit the mountains and rivers in person. This was a big deal. Whether he was really a guide or not, when he was willing to say this, it was undoubtedly a great importance to the Lu family. Lu Jun was moved. As the head of the family, what a temptation would it be if the Lu family could be upgraded from the Jiangdong family to the world's family.

From this perspective, if Lu Xun really surrendered to Liu Jing, would it be a bad thing?

Lu Ji sat aside and was silent. When he went to Xiangyang, he was caught by Cai Mao and his legs were damaged, which made him become a serious lame from then on and could not enter the officialdom again. So he studied Yi Jingxuan at home. He did not expect that Liu Jing could still remember a relationship back then, which moved him very much.
