Chapter 947 Cao Cao was defeated completely (second update)

"Five hundred households?"

Lu Qun's eyes lit up and he said.

"Yes, five hundred households." Seeing Lu Qun's expression change, Chen Xue felt that he was sure to win this task, and even lying became very natural.

Don’t worry about whether the above can really enfeoff the five hundred households and lords, let’s talk about it first.

"Okay, I'll discuss with you all." After getting Chen Xue's affirmation, Lu Qun pretended to hesitate and said.

"Okay. I'll wait for news from my husband at home." Chen Xue nodded and raised his fist.

"Please." Lu Qun said politely.

Chen Xue nodded, got up and left.

Lu Qun stood up and saw him off, and he went to the gate. The two of them said goodbye. Lu Qun returned to the mansion, and Chen Xue also walked out of Lu's mansion. When Chen Xue walked out of Lu's mansion, he looked around and then cautiously headed towards the left.

Not long after, Chen Xue met a farmer, who was wearing coarse linen clothes, which was very ordinary.

"He agreed, but to be cautious, he sent someone to stare at the front and back doors to prevent him from rumoring the news." Chen Xue said softly to the farmer.

"Um."

The farmer nodded. Then, the two of them intersected, as if they were not aware of each other.

Not long after, some people began to follow outside the Lu Mansion.

After Lu Qun returned to the mansion, he immediately found his second son, Lu Feng. Lu Qun's son. Whether it was the eldest son, the second son was already in his thirties. The eldest son went to the south, and the main reliance of the family was the second son.

"This time, I encountered an achievement for my father." After Lu Qun saw Lu Feng, he immediately told Lu Feng about the conversation he had met with Chen Xue.

"Did my father plan to refuse and betray Chen Xue?" Lu Feng said in surprise.

Lu Feng thought that Lu Qun was able to refuse the invitation from Wei State. However, he was a little confused about betraying Chen Xue. Merchants were all shrewd.

They never put eggs in a basket. Even if the Chu State is extremely powerful, it has the momentum to bring the world back. But after all, Cao Wei is not without a chance.

There is no need to sell Chen Qun for this so-called achievement. What should someone do if Cao Wei raises troops south in the future, and someone avenges Chen Xue?

Both father and son were businessmen, and Lu Qun knew what Lu Feng meant. He gently patted his son's shoulder and said, "Businessmen should not put eggs in a basket. But being an official is different. The way to be an official is to make a bold move once you decide your position. Now that you have the title of great generals and chiefs for your father, you have some capital to educate your grandsons. Moreover, the attitude of the emperor towards merchants is also conducive to us to push our descendants into the career of officialdom. Our Lu family's goal is an official family, not a business family."

Lu Feng was a little confused when he heard it, but his father was the person he admired the most. Even if he didn't understand, he nodded and said, "What is the father going to let his son do?"

"Let's go, after leaving the mansion, leave the city immediately and head straight for Shouchun. Find General Zuo Huang Zhong as the leader."

Lu Feng said.

This is also for the sake of caution. Since there is a spy Chen Xue, Shucheng, there will definitely be others in other places. Maybe there are such people around the county magistrate.

Therefore, the most cautious thing should be to bring the news to the army, and the arrest will be carried out by General Huang Zhong, who is in charge of the entire Huainan.

"No." Lu Feng knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately responded to it. As soon as he was about to leave, Lu Qun said again: "Change clothes and climb over the wall."

Just now, Lu Qun's heart moved, afraid that their mansion would have been targeted. If Lu Feng left in a hurry, he might be shocking the enemy.

"Okay." Lu Feng nodded and left.

"Wei State? Compared with Wei State, Chu State is more in line with my wishes." After Lu Feng left, Lu Qun stroked his beard, smiled and said.

On the other hand, Lu Fengjin followed Lu Qun's order, changed into a servant's clothes, climbed over the wall and left the Lu Mansion, then went directly to the horse market, bought a fast horse, quickly left Shucheng, and headed straight for Shouchun.

After galloping for a long time, Lu Feng came to General Zuo and Huang Zhong's camp.

"Leave quickly at the important area of ​​the military camp." After Lu Feng approached the camp, the soldiers guarding the gate shouted very unceremoniously.

"I am the son of Shucheng, the chief of the great prince Lu Qun. Because my father discovered the spy of Cao Wei, he sent me over to ask General Zuo to take charge and ask the soldiers to spread the news."

Lu Feng got off the horse and said respectfully to the soldiers guarding the gate.

In addition to enjoying the benefits of land, Dashu Chang can also have some benefits at this time. At least he is not a grass-roots person anymore.

"Hold on."

After hearing this, Shi Chang was shocked, but he believed that no one would joke about such things, especially the son of the eldest son.

Therefore, Shi Chang said politely and quickly turned around and entered the military camp.

Huang Zhong was the left general, the leader of the five generals in the front, back and left, and the second only to the left and right generals, Pang Tong and Xu Shu. He led 30,000 troops to Shouchun, and also controlled the former general Taishi Ci and the right general Gan Ning to jointly guard the Jianghuai.

As a veteran of Chu State, Huang Zhong was loyal and loyal. Under his rule, the military camps were arranged in an orderly manner, and the soldiers were also very capable.

On this day, Huang Zhong read books in the central army tent. This is Huang Zhong's habit. When he is in the military, he will not put down the book as long as he has free time.

"General, there is a man outside the door who claims to be the son of Lu Qun, the chief of Shucheng, and asked for a visit. He said he was discovering a spy from Cao Wei." At this time, Shi Chang walked in and reported.

"Oh?" Huang Zhong's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he became quite interested.

After the expedition in the Jianghuai region that year, there was no war. Over the years, Kou Feng's courtesy of Huang Zhong has become more and more prosperous, and his title has reached thousands of households.

Huang Zhong always felt a little ashamed. Now that he has discovered a large-scale spy operation, he may be able to gain some useful information.

"Please come in now."

Huang Zhong raised his hand and said.

"promise."

Shi Chang Yingnui said, and immediately turned around and walked out.

Not long after, Lu Feng entered the central army's tent to meet Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong sent out a large army.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Chengdu, in the Palace of King Chu.

Kou Feng sat in the side hall and dealt with the words from all over the place. Since his territory grew bigger and bigger, his staff had more and more people. But Kou Feng's daily workload has decreased more and more.

Most of them were handed over to Jiang Wan and reviewed together with important officials.

That's because Kou Feng believes that Jiang Wan and others are wise ministers and nothing will happen.

However, as the emperor, Kou Feng also kept in mind the teachings of his ancestors and did not really use these rights to others. Even if the articles reviewed by Jiang Wan and others, Kou Feng would patiently read them.

To avoid using power for personal gain.

In addition, although Jiang Wan and others could use it, they could not rely too much on it. For example, Duke Huan of Qi used Guan Zhong as prime minister and dominated the Spring and Autumn Period. However, after Guan Zhong's death, Duke Huan of Qi had no opinion.

In the end, he used the treacherous slander and was locked in the bedroom by several treacherous slanderers to starve to death. After his death, the sects fought for the throne. The bodies were left for 67 days and no one paid attention to them. The bodies were smelly, and a generation of wise rulers ended up miserably.

A lesson from the past and a teacher for the future.

"Your Majesty, the urgent report from the left General Huang Zhong."

At this moment, Jiang Wan walked in from outside, holding a memorial in his hand.

Huang Zhong? Still urgently reported that it was because Jianghuai wars were again? Kou Feng's eyes narrowed and he immediately stretched out his hand. Jiang Wan handed the memorial in his hand to Kou Feng.

Soon, Kou Feng opened the memorial, took a look, and immediately let go of his eyebrows, and was quite happy. It was stated that Cao Cao sent a spy to lure Lu Qun, the chief of Shucheng, but failed to lure him, but Lu Qun reported it. Huang Zhong sent troops directly and captured the spy first.

Then he followed the clues and captured the spies arranged by Cao Wei in the Jianghuai area. You should know that spies, spies and other characters were originally secret.

What's more, it was such a backward communications and identification system in ancient times. It was even more difficult to capture spies. Now it can capture more than ten spies in one fell swoop, clearing out the spies from Jianghuai.

How could Kou Feng be upset?

However, in addition to Huang Zhong's victory, Lu Qun's incident also attracted Kou Feng's attention.

In the past, although Kou Feng was kind to merchants, he might not be close to him, because no matter what era he was, he was really a businessman and a traitor.

There are so many people in ***.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, a collective situation of merchant groups even formed, creating the foundation for the Qing Dynasty to enter the pass. Kou Feng used the power of merchants to explore the south and adapted to the times.

Therefore, after Kou Feng ordered the spread of the book's technology, he was mentally prepared. Sooner or later, this technology would be introduced to the north. However, the appearance of Lu Qun made Kou Feng quite excited.

Who should merchants divide into?

"I issued an edict to inform the world of this matter, and gave Lu Qun three hundred gold and two hundred Shu brocades to commend him. The order was issued to the more than 70 merchants who had obtained the technology of Chu Book making, telling them that Chu Book is a national weapon of Chu State. If anyone dared to disclose it to anyone, he would destroy his nine clans. It was nine clans. On the contrary, if he reported the spy, he would be rewarded."

Kou Feng said.

Originally, Kou Feng thought that he had the confidence to pacify the world within ten years, so that Chu Shu would be spread out. Now he could restrain the merchants and prevent Chu Shu from spreading it, at least he would not be spread out in the short term.

That's also very good.

"promise."

Jiang Wan responded to the promise and immediately went down to draft an edict.

"Meng De, Meng De, even the merchants of the lonely Chu State look down on you." After Jiang Wan left, Kou Feng's face showed a happy smile and he said to himself.

Why is Lu Qun, a businessman, so loyal? If you want to be loyal, Kou Feng would not believe it. Kou Feng is naturally a guess because of the strength of Chu.

The Chu State is booming and prosperity continues to move upwards. The one who feels the most clearly is probably the merchants.

"I don't know how many spies Meng De sent to the State of Chu, and how many of the merchants would be exposed by those merchants." Then, Kou Feng stretched and smiled.

He is ready to wait and see.

After Kou Feng issued the edict, the merchants did not let Kou Fengjiu wait.

About a month later, spies were constantly arrested in Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Nanzhou. Although all spies sent by Cao Cao in the south were not destroyed.
