My lord, who is Ma Zhong?

This is Pang Tong's question.

Although he cannot be called a photographic memory, Jiangdong Wenwu, who had been Zhou Yu's personal companion for nearly a year and had interacted with and met him, still remembered it clearly.

After going through it in his mind, Pang Tong's final answer was: There is no such person.

After recalling it twice without giving up and still getting no results, Pang Tong could only ask Liu Bei for help.

Although Ma Zhong is a general under Pan Zhang's command, he is a great talent and has a Han Dynasty in mind. Liu Bei was also very interested:

Shun sent his family to his father's house, and he was ridiculed by concubines for hundreds of miles. It is a pity that such a talented person is only a soldier.

Seeing the unfaithful expression on Liu Bei's face, Pang Tong murmured in his heart: How can a mere Yamen become a great talent?

But wait!

Pang Tong recalled carefully: Compared with other mourners, his lord was neither sad nor happy about his misfortune.

Even when I look back at the mourning hall after paying homage, I feel a fleeting feeling of pity!

Then I thought that the lord I heard about yesterday was the first group to come here to pay my respects.

Pang Tong had a guess in his mind: The lord knew early on that Gong Jin was going to die soon!

But how is it possible? Pang Tong personally blocked the news about Gong Jin's condition, and even Lu Su didn't know the truth.

Pang Tong's eyes widened instantly: Kong Ming! Yes, only he can see the truth from the fog, and he can live in Jingzhou and observe the talents of Jiangdong!

I just don’t know whether Kong Ming found out the truth from the complicated news, or whether he placed a spy next to Gong Jin?

But no matter which one, they are all terrible!

For a moment, Pang Tong felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. Although he hadn't met again yet, he seemed to have seen that careless handsome face smiling at him.

The sense of urgency in his heart drove Pang Tong to respond immediately:

That being the case, I would like to invite Ma Zhong on behalf of my lord. After saying this, Pang Tong leaned forward a little further and said, My lord and Bu Zhi came here together yesterday, but do you want to make a plan to pay the state?

Without waiting for Liu Bei to ask Pang Tong, he simply explained: Bu Zishan is Sun Hou's confidant. He pretends to be the governor of Jiaozhou to pay homage to General Nan Zhonglang. His intention to spy on Jiaozhou is obvious.

Yesterday, I saw him coming out of Sunhou's house with a dejected look on his face. It seems that the plan to hand over the state has been foiled by the Lord!

Congratulations, my lord, but I don't know that my lord is planning to make peace with the state?

Ah, this feeling is so familiar. Liu Bei changed into a comfortable posture, his mind was completely empty, and he asked with a smile:

What do you think Shiyuan thinks?

Pang Tong thought for a while and said: Jiaozhou has a vast territory and a sparse population. The barbarians are strong and difficult to tame, and Shi Xie has many intentions. My lord only relies on the four counties of Jingzhou, and it is difficult to quell Shi Xie's repeated intentions.

If we secretly help Shi Xie to prevent him from being taken advantage of by Sun Hou, capture Yizhou, advance to Hanzhong, seize Guanzhong, and defeat Cao Cao, then Shi Xie will be able to attack our lord on his own.

Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Bei praised:

As expected of Shi Yuan, it is roughly the same as what Kong Ming planned.

The excitement that just appeared on Pang Tong's face disappeared without a trace.

Feng Chu stood up and left: Tong will go find Ma Zhong.

Looking at the back of Pang Tong working diligently, Liu Bei couldn't help but secretly praise: Is this Feng Chu?

Is this Wolong? Pang Tong sighed secretly.

Seeing the elegant alchemist Pang Tong all over the city quickening his pace, he remembered Pan Zhang in his heart:

He is addicted to alcohol, lives in poverty and is greedy for money.

Shaking his head, Pang Tong quickened his pace. Does such a chaotic man have a great talent under his command? Take it.

Before Feng Chu's joy had subsided, the waiter came to announce again: We have a visitor. He claims to be a Xuzhou goods merchant, but he is an old friend of General Zuo.

Liu Bei smiled and walked out the door, holding the visitor's hand together: Zizhong!

Lord. Mi Zhu raised his hand and bowed.

Go in and talk!

Liu Bei was almost forced to kneel down and sit down. Looking at Mi Zhu's face, Liu Bei felt a little distressed:

Zizhong has been very busy lately.

The blame for my sinful brother lies with me...

Zifang has already been crowned! Liu Bei interrupted and did not want to talk more:

Before coming to Jiangdong, I ordered Chen to send someone to take care of him, so Zifang will be safe.

Is Zizhong in trouble in Jiangdong?

Mi Zhu buried her gratitude in her heart and took out a page of secret paper from the lining of her clothes:

Two hundred volumes of Zhuge paper have been sold out. Please take a look, my lord.

The secret note was opened in Liu Bei's hand, and Mi Fang continued:

The person my lord is looking for, Lu Xun... still has no news.

The secret note was filled with numbers, and Liu Bei read it slowly and with difficulty. Although the cashier did not quite understand the calculations, he could understand the final profit figures.

I couldn't help but read the figure of millions of dollars many times, and it made me happy.

After hearing Mi Zhu's words, he raised his eyebrows:

No such name?

Mi Zhu nodded and said: The Lu family is a wealthy family in Jiangdong. They experienced Yuan Shu's disaster in their early years and there are only a few members in the family.

Lu Jun, nicknamed Xiucai, was born as a captain in Jiujiang.

Lu Kang was named Gongji, and he was appointed as the governor of Cao Cao, and became the governor of Yulin; Lu Yi, named Boyan, was the son of Lu Xiucai, and was appointed as the captain of Dingwei.

Lu Mao, courtesy name Zizhang, is the younger brother of Lu Yi and serves as the Commander-in-Chief of Tuntian.

Lu Gongji has two sons, Lu Hong and Lu Rui. The eldest son is only seven years old.

Mi Zhu took out a piece of secret paper again, and what he just said was clearly listed on it.

Liu Bei picked it up and looked at it, feeling a little discouraged for a while.

Jiangdong now has only two surnames left with the surname Lu, which seems to be clear at a glance, but the only one he hopes to see is the name Lu Xun.

If I had known earlier, I should have asked Shi Yuan earlier! Liu Bei felt a little regretful and asked without giving up:

Are you sure everything is missing?

After selling the paper, I visited it for a month. There were very few descendants of the Lu family, so they all wrote on it.

Mi Zhu swore so firmly, how could he go wrong with such a simple thing?

Could it be that someone changed his name to Lu Xun, or was it misinformed by later generations? Mi Zhu made a guess.

Of course Liu Bei has also considered this possibility, but in the end his guess is a question:

Why did Jiangdong's wealthy and talented people change their names?

Changing one's name often requires respect for the honorable person, but the light curtain clearly told them that Sun Hou could live for a long time.

If you would have changed your name long ago to avoid taboos, why wait any longer?

Scratching his head irritably, Liu Bei came up with a bold idea:

How about visiting in turn?

No! Mi Zhu couldn't laugh or cry: Now that Zhou Gongjin is in mourning, even Sun Hou's subordinates need to avoid suspicion. The identity of the lord is important...

Liu Bei understood and could only put away the list and smacked his lips with regret: What about Lu Meng? Is he indeed a brave and foolhardy general?

This is what I need to tell my lord... Mi Zhu was a little unsure:

According to what I heard from Dan Tu, Nalumeng was indeed brave in fighting, ruthless and easy to kill. However, when he was last year, Nalumeng's house had been purchasing scriptures and canons.

Or for the enlightenment of his son?

Mi Zhu shook his head: His two sons, Lu Cong and Lu Ba, are both in their late teens and early twenties, and have long passed the age of enlightenment.

That's quite interesting. Liu Bei said with a smile: I didn't know how to study until I was thirty years old. Who would have thought that a fighting general who lightly talks about killing people could become the governor of Jiangdong?

But it's too late to study now.

Shiren has been devolved, Mi Fang has been locked up, Jiangling is building twin cities, how do you cross the river in white?
