Chapter 214: Lu Lang Huaiju

The Kunpeng spreads its wings for ninety thousand miles, and has been in vain for more than ten years.

Year after year, the days continue in a cycle of cycles. Although the New Year's Eve of the ninth year of Jian'an is not as lively as last year, it is enough to make the Jiangdong elders happy.

In the twelfth month of this year, a happy event in Jiangdong that was praised by the people. In Haihun County, Yuzhang County, a young man named Zhou Chu sneaked into the Yangtze River alone and killed a mermaid dragon who did many evil things. When Gao Chong suddenly heard the name Zhou Chu, he suddenly remembered that Zhou Chu was the posthumous son of Zhou Feng, who had died in the mouth of Jizhou.

The embroidered handkerchief stained with blood from the surrounding brinks still made Gao Chong feel palpitations.

Zhou Rui was the first general to be killed in Gao Chong's struggle. His premature death was so regrettable. If Zhou Rui had not died early, his achievements now were at least no less than Xu Sheng.

Unfortunately, facts are facts after all. Even Gao Chong is powerful now, he cannot change everything before.

"——Zhou Chu was able to take risks alone at a young age and eliminate harm to the people. It is really gratifying. In time, this son can be the backbone of Jiangdong." At the beginning of the new year of the tenth year of Jian'an, Haihun made Jiao Zhongqing's report bloom.

Zhou Feng's death has always made Gao Chong feel guilty. Although Zhou Chu and his son have repeatedly rejected the clothes, silk, rice and grain sent by Gao Chong many times over the years, Gao Chong did not lose his preference for Zhou Chu.

After Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi arrived in Jinling, their lives were harmonious and their husbands were frivolous. This was mainly due to two aspects: one was that they lacked the cold look of Jiao’s mother-in-law in their daily lives, and the other was that Jiao Zhongqing did a good job as a clerk in the prime minister. With a good boss like Lu Su, Jiao Zhongqing’s talents were maximized. Therefore, not long after, Jiao Zhongqing was recommended by Lu Su, Gu Yong and others to serve as Haihun Order.

"Unfortunate jade cannot be carved. If it weren't for his mother's persistence, it would be hard to imagine whether Zhou Chu, who grew up under care, could achieve something." Thinking of this, Gao Chong couldn't help but admire the young woman who refused him on the streets of Yuzhang.

What Zhou Feng left behind is a glory that children always yearn for.

What prompted Zhou Chu to rise up today is not only this glory, but also his mother's hard work and teachings.

This also made Gao Chong admire this stubborn and persistent woman.

In many cases, raising children is not just about spoiling or being good to children. Both parents, Gao Chong did a poor job in this regard. For his daughter Qingyue, Gao Chong, the father, was no longer majestic outside, so that Qingyue's temperament became more willful and willful.

There will always be new differences in the new year.

Today, the four prefectures of Jing, Yang, Jiao and Yi are already the territory of Daxia. The new dynasty is in a joyful place. Gao Chong, who is approaching, can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

The young man who was once frivolous and bloody has gone far away. Gao Chong is now the overlord of the south with a cold wind. The difficult past is like scenes of eternal memories that you can't forget, always inspire him not to be proud or dare not indulge in it.

In the spring of the tenth year of Jian'an, Lu Ji returned to Jiangdong from Liangzhou. He brought back Ma Chao and Zhao Yun defeated Jincheng and captured Han Sui alive. Although Chang'an was still in Cao Cao's hands, the vast land west of Guanzhong was owned by Ma Chao, and the decision to aid Liangzhou three years ago made Gao Chong highly oppressed due to insufficient troops. Now, it is finally time to bear fruit.

The stinger has been planted, just waiting for the day when it works.

Before this, Gao Chong had another more important thing to do.

With the restoration of Liangzhou, having a smooth westward passage became an urgent task. Whether from Shuzhong or Jingyang, to reach Liangzhou, you must pass through Hanzhong.

Although Zhang Lu has been quite friendly in the past two years, except for the heavy taxes on transit, he did not make things difficult for Gao Chong soldiers who came and went to Jingliang.

The Hanzhong King Zhang Lu, who was surrounded on three sides, was actually a turtle in the jar. After Ma Chao took Chen Cang, Hanzhong was occupied by Gao Chong's forces on the east, south and west sides, leaving Zhang Lu's road to the outside world, leaving only the most steepest Ziwu Valley Road. And when Chang'an was also facing the threat of Ma Chao's Western Liang Iron Cavalry, even if Zhang Lu had the courage, he would not dare to risk Cao Cao to go to Beitou.

Because, without the foundation of the Heavenly Master in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu, the "Great Heavenly Master", will become worthless.

A surrender who has little value will not be respected. No matter how stupid Zhang Lu is, he understands this truth. Therefore, he is afraid that Gao Chong will become stronger and stronger, and he dare not offend Gao Chong.

It was just after the cold winter, and the winter snow in Jinling City, located by the Yangtze River, has not melted.

A heavy snow at the end of December put a thick layer of costume on the festival. The auspicious snow is a good year, and next year is another good year.

At the foot of the mountain, snow covered the branches, Gao Chong, wearing brocade fur, took rare time to come out to enjoy the winter snow scene in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to a group of guards, he was also a tall and thin young man.

"Fire trees and silver flowers, how about Gong Ji's snow scene in the south being better than Liangzhou?" Gao Chong smiled as he walked.

The tall and thin young man kicked the snow on the ground with his feet, raised his head and said loudly: "Praise, how can this snow be compared with the heavy snow in Liangzhou? Once the snow falls there, it is not as deep as the horse's belly. I remember when I first arrived in Liangzhou, my legs were frozen unconscious every winter."

After saying that, the young man suddenly smiled embarrassedly. It seemed that he felt that it was a bit embarrassing to say this.

This young man who accompanied Gao Chongshangxue was no one else, but Lu Ji, who came to Liang with Pang Tong. After more than two years of training, Lu Ji not only grew taller, but also made great progress in his knowledge.

"Public Ji has grown up!" Gao Chong sighed lightly. He habitually reached out to touch Lu Ji's head, but he didn't want to compare. Lu Ji was as tall as Gao Chong.

"Pengshuai, although the journey is hard, he has also seen the customs and customs of various places. Liangzhou is brave and the horse-backed men who are good at nomadic horse-backed men are hiring and erratic. Hanzhong's terrain is closed and the people are ignorant. Over the years, the influence of the Tianshi Sect has been greatly influenced by the Tianshi Sect. In comparison, the territory of the Xia Kingdom in the south is much more open and prosperous. When I passed Chengdu, I saw Bo Yan accepting many refugees who fled south. Needless to say, these people must have fled from Hanzhong. Therefore, it is time to take Hanzhong in view of Ji." After saying this long sentence, Lu Ji looked calm, and even facing Gao Chong's surprised gaze, he was still calm and calm.

Lu Ji, who had just rushed back from Liangzhou, had a rosy complexion. This was the first sign left by the bad weather in the northwest on him, so Lu Ji, who was only eighteen years old, seemed to be much more mature. Gao Chong could see that the more than two years of experience had given Lu Ji a complete change.

"Oh, Gong Ji is so sure?" Gao Chong asked with a smile.

"It is not Ji who boasts that the general is favored. Although Hanzhong is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not without flaws. After the self-army captured Chen Cang, the people of Hanzhong were in panic. All visionaries moved south one after another. Zhang Lu's fallacy of "Ghosts of Heavenly Masters" could deceive the people for a while, but they could not deceive them for a lifetime. Now all signs are showing that the day of Zhang Lu's defeat is coming, so why not take him?" Lu Ji talked with emotion.

Lu Ji was right. Just after Ma Chao and Zhao Yun took Chen Cang, the governor of Yizhou Lu Xun seized the opportunity to lead the soldiers from Shu to Yangping Pass, Jinniu Road, and Micang Road to separate the roads, forming a situation of pressure from the north and south.

Gao Chong had already decided to take Hanzhong, but he could not take it for a while because of the fierce battle with Cao Cao. Now, the situation in Liangzhou has been completely opened. After more than a year of rest and recuperation, Lu Xun has basically quelled the turmoil in Yizhou. It is already an arrow to open up the connection with Liangzhou in Hanzhong.

"Okay, what good advice does Gong Ji have? Let me tell you quickly?" Gao Chong praised.

"Ji passed through Nanzheng this time and was met by Yan Puhou, a Brazilian under Zhang Lu's adviser. From Pu, Ji knew that all knowledgeable people in Hanzhong would like to return to the south. If the favorites could send a eloquent person to Nanzheng to lobby, Zhang Lu would definitely surrender." Lu Ji said.

Gao Chong laughed and said, "I am worried about this these days. There are many people who are good at eloquence in Jiangdong, but there are only a few who can really take great responsibilities. I wonder if Gong Ji has a good candidate in his heart?"

Gao Chong's question was a casual statement. Lu Ji had just returned from Liangzhou and had little contact with officials in Jiangdong. Isn't it more difficult to ask him to recommend a suitable candidate than Gao Chong?

After hearing this, Lu Ji said seriously: "Why don't you use Kuaiji Yu Zhongxiang?"

Zhongxiang is the name Yu Fan. After Sun Ce's defeat, Yu Fan lived in seclusion for a period of time and finally became Gao Chong's counselor. However, this person was too turbulent and dissatisfied with everyone. In addition, he liked drinking but had no virtue and often caused trouble. Therefore, he has only been a Qing counselor under Gu Yong who has no position or power.

"Zhongxiang is arrogant and unruly, I'm afraid he will still take this responsibility?" Gao Chong said worriedly.

Lu Ji shook his head and said, "It can be seen that Sun Ce went out to hunt and was stabbed when he went out to hunt and was attacked. He did not listen to Yu Zhongxiang's advice. In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xu and issued an edict to summon talented people from all over the world. The list was also listed. However, his answer was: "Bao Zhi wanted to use his wealth to defile the evil family! On this point, even Mr. Zhang was not as good as him. Therefore, he should not judge people with his appearance."
