Yuan Yao and Liu Ye each figured out each other, Liu Ye still decided to follow the old patron he had already found, although he knew that his identity might be a little embarrassing, but Liu Ye knew that Cao Cao must be a great talent!

Yuan Yao also made up his mind, Yuan Yao knew that after Wancheng was finished, Liu Ye would go to Cao Ying, so there was not much time for him, and Yuan Yao decided that Liu Ye had to be taken down no matter what.

Just when the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, all the banquets on Liu Xun's side were filled one after another.

"Huh!"

At this glance, Yuan Yao was taken aback, Liu Xun not only called many generals, but there was also a seat on the other side that was all dressed in silk robes, and the first person seemed to have a very high status among everyone.

But those people exchanged pleasantries one by one during the banquet, but no one paid attention to our Liu Xun.

Liu Xun's face was a little embarrassed, but he still couldn't help but not get angry, the family is too important to their princes, even if the princes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao sometimes have to look at the faces of the family and act, the officials of those families under their account are very revealing.

During the Three Kingdoms, the Han scholars almost did not come out, and all the good positions were occupied by the family, even if Liu Bei was just pulling the banner as a tiger skin, and publicizing his identity as a Han clan everywhere to get support and make a fortune.

Liu Xun didn't bother to deal with these people, how could Liu Xun give a good face to the people who could offend his majesty, if he hadn't had something to do with them today, he wouldn't have bothered to call them.

Seeing that everyone was complete, Liu Xun prepared to open the banquet,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you to come here today to discuss important matters, so I hope you can help one or two!" Liu Xun got straight to the point, and mobilized everyone's enthusiasm in one sentence.

But everyone under Liu Xun's account knows, and the main ones who are curious are Yuan Yao and the others and those who are in charge of the family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xun will not sell Guanzi, now that the war in Lujiang is stable, there is naturally my Liu Xun's credit." Liu Xun naturally began to take care of everything, thinking that the current peace in Lujiang was because of his own soldiers and horses.

"Hmph~" The patriarchs of the scholar clan in Lujiang sneered, and with their sharp eyes trained in the business war, they could naturally see what kind of goods our Liu Xun's children's shoes were, but because Liu Xun now has tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed in Anhui City, everyone is unwilling to tear their faces directly.

As far as these patriarchs of the scholar clan who control 80% of the wealth of Lujiang are concerned, only private soldiers, if they add up, I am afraid that there are more soldiers and horses than Liu Xun.

But these private soldiers are a factor in their settlement, and they are naturally reluctant to take them out and fight hard with others, which is one of the capitals for them to negotiate with the princes.

And Liu Xun is not fundamentally different from that Han Fu in their eyes, mediocrity is incompetence, and incompetence is not worth being bet on by others in troubled times, which is why Liu Xun has not received many defections.

Even Liu Ye's defection was because he wanted to give Lujiang to Cao Cao as a gift.

"However, now that Jiangdong Sun Ce is eyeing the tiger, Cao Cao in the north is preparing to start with Yuan Shao, Xun as the Taishou of Lujiang, the shepherd guard, should have taken the protection of Lujiang as the top priority, but now I have to discuss with you, grain and grass, there is not much grain and grass in my Lujiang army, and I hope you can help me or two!"

Liu Xun hugged his fists.

As soon as Liu Xun finished speaking, the other side of the table took over the conversation, "The general's words are out of sight, since the general is stationed in Lujiang, he is naturally the object of our allegiance, how much grain and grass do you need, general, let's see if we can help!" ”

Liu Xun fixed his eyes.

"Hehe, isn't this Lu Jun's thorn in the head."

The Lu family is the most powerful one of the scholars in Anhui City, when Sun Ce was under Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu wanted to borrow grain and grass from Lu Jun's father Lu Kang, but Lu Kang categorically refused because Yuan Shu was a rebel.

Therefore, Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Lujiang, and the person who served as the Taishou of this county at that time was Sun Jian's old friend and Jiangdong celebrity Lu Kang.

Lu Kang is a native of Wu County, when his nephew was the commander of Yichun County, he was besieged by thieves, and it was Sun Jian who sent troops to rescue and repel the thieves.

Therefore, the Lu family and the Sun family got married, but they didn't expect that after Sun Jian's death, in Sun Ce's generation, Sun Ce and Lu Kang actually became enemies on the battlefield in order to retrieve the soldiers and horses that belonged to his father.

The battle with Lu Kang lasted for two years before Sun Ce took Lujiang.

And soon after the capture of Lujiang, Lu Kang died of illness because he couldn't stand the stimulation, so the Lu family has never been cold to Liu Xun, who took over Yuan Shu's task as the Taishou of Lujiang, but has been making bad moves behind Liu Xun's back for some things he said, and Liu Xun did not dare to be too harsh on the Lu family under the persuasion of his henchmen.

The two have always been inseparable, and now that Lu Jun is willing to support him, how can Liu Xun not be surprised? But Liu Xun's heart was sudden, this stab in the head is not a stab in the back, how can he be so generous?

"Yes, general, since Lujiang needs grain and grass, we will naturally go all out, and the head of the Lu family has said so, so we naturally can't be too stingy."

The patriarch of the Shi clan followed Lu Jun and said, they are headed by the Lu family, because the Lu family is the boss of the Lujiang Shi clan, and no one can take away this position.

"Come on, come on, everyone here is the mainstay of this Lujiang River, without you, there would be no entire Lujiang, Liu Xun will give you a cup on behalf of my Lujiang Army!"

Liu Xun raised his wine glass and toasted to the various family heads and patriarchs below.

Liu Xun was overjoyed, since everyone was so face-saving, what else did he have to worry about.

Liu Xun is the Taishou of Lujiang, and he is still the chief executive of everyone in name, watching Liu Xun get up and toast, everyone returned the salute one by one. 、

Yuan Yao had been secretly observing this Liu Ye, and at this moment, Yuan Yao saw Liu Ye's brows furrowed.

"Brother Ziyang, what are you frowning for?" Taking advantage of Liu Xun and everyone toasting you back and forth, Yuan Yao and Liu Ye almost asked.

"Ugh." Liu Ye shook his head, only smiled bitterly, Liu Xun's way of borrowing grain and grass was completely wrong, I am afraid that even if he was tricked by those people, he would not know.

For his father-in-law, Liu Ye is really powerless to complain.

For Yuan Yao's question, Liu Ye didn't even reply, although it was a little rude, but he really wasn't in the mood, now he knew this, the actions of the Lujiang Shi clan, what the Shi clan was, it was a businessman, and it was possible to deduct grain and grass from the mouth of a businessman?

And the appearance of these scholars is so similar, which can only show that they have already discussed the arrival of this day, it must be because they are ready to fight Liu Xun hard.

Lujiang may look glamorous, but in fact, it is about to be difficult both internally and externally.

Moreover, according to Liu Ye's secret inquiry, now that Sun Ce in Jiangdong has begun to mobilize the army, and is preparing grain and grass, Liu Ye naturally knows that Sun Ce can't bear it anymore, and the capture of Lujiang is one of the few in his eyes, so Liu Ye is a little upset. But when Liu Xun got this information, he couldn't help but slap his hands and laugh, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"God help me."

This is also the reason why Yuan Yao and others were invited.

When he got that Sun Ce was transferring troops, what Sun Ce wanted to do, although Liu Xun didn't know, Liu Xun had already found out that Jiangdong intended to attack Jiangxia Huangzu.

In that year, Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou and was killed in an ambush by the enemy army in Daxian Mountain, and Huang Zu was the main mastermind. It seems that Sun Ce is avenging his father.

If Sun Ce really got into trouble with Huang Zu, he wouldn't be able to stop for a while. Even if he wanted to cease fire and return to attack Lujiang, Huang Zu would not give up, and would definitely bite Sun Ce's ass and beat him, how could Sun Ce attack Lujiang?

To be honest, Liu Xun coveted the wealth of Shangyun for more than a day or two, and he was also distressed by the lack of food at the beginning, so he sent his cousin Liu Kai as an envoy to Shangyu to borrow grain.

The patriarchs of Shangyu agreed very happily, but after Liu Xun received the grain, he saw that not only the quantity was insufficient, but the quality of the rice was also inferior, which was obviously perfunctory.

Moreover, it is in Yuzhang, which is a dangerous place on the east shore of Poyang Lake.

Although Shangyu belongs to Yuzhang County, because of the dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the successive Yangzhou Assassin Shi and Yuzhang Taishou are helpless against them.

In fact, the power of the Shangyun family has long since become an independent kingdom isolated from the world.

Because of its isolation from the world, it has become more and more mysterious. There is a rumor that Shangyu has accumulated tens of millions of wealth, including grain, rice, gold and silver, and all kinds of rare treasures.

But such an independent kingdom actually gave me such a small amount of grain and grass to be called Hanako? The lack of grain and grass in Lujiang has always been a headache for Liu Xun, and he finally went out to borrow some, but he was humiliated.

So Liu Xun has always been very dissatisfied with Shangyu, and he has long wanted to attack Shangyu, but he didn't dare to move.

Why? He was afraid that as soon as his army came out, the surrounding forces would take the opportunity to attack Lujiang. When the time comes, the upper nest will not be available, and the old nest will be copied, but it will be very bad!

At that time, Sun Ce took the initiative to ask for an alliance with Liu Xun, and Liu Xun naturally couldn't ask for it. He immediately convened a military council and decided to use troops against Shangyu. But Liu Xun is still a little hesitant, Liu Xun has been secretly figuring out this matter for the past few days.

Although he coveted the wealth sent by Sun Ce and the wealth of the sea, what Sun Ce was going to do, this was also what Liu Xun was worried about, and he didn't know whether Sun Ce's ally was reliable or not.

But now that he heard the news, Liu Xun finally felt that he could send troops boldly with confidence. Moreover, although the news is not accurate, Liu Xun is at least not so worried.

Liu Ye knew that the Lujiang clan was ready to resist tonight, and Liu Xun had not yet realized the conspiracy of Jiangdong Sun Ce, perhaps, Lujiang would really fall into internal and external difficulties this time.

"Since you can afford me, then I'll say it bluntly, Lujiang may have to use troops recently, so the issue of grain and grass must not be ambiguous, I Liu Xun spoke first, I will pay back your grain and grass, I don't want much for the time being, you will raise 100,000 stone grain and grass for me, okay?"

Liu Xun drank Huan Shi'er, so he said it directly, to be honest, 100,000 grains and grass are enough for Lujiang to bring down the sea and the sea, and even if it lasts for the wheat harvest next year, it is possible.

"Sending troops?" Yuan Yao was shocked, it seemed that the attack on the sea was true, and tonight was a good opportunity for Yuan Yao to get information.

Liu Xun drank another cup and raised his glass to the scholars and persuaded him, "100,000 stone grains and grass is not a small amount, Xun also hopes that you will distribute it, and I am grateful." ”

"One hundred thousand stones! Trifle! Lu Jun smiled heroically, "General Liu Xun can shepherd the Lujiang side, so naturally he will not be greedy for our little grain and grass." ”

"You are all optimistic, today my Lu family will set an example," Lu Jun looked at the scholars behind him, waved his hand, and said in an urn voice, announcing in a voice like a bell, "My Lu family, I am willing to contribute a hundred stones of grain and grass to Lujiang!" ”

"Brother Lu is really heroic, since you have said so, my Liu family is willing to donate eighty stones of grain and grass!" A patriarch of the Shi clan in the back also said.

"Sixty stones!"

"Fifty stones!"

"Thirty stones!"

…………

"Poof." Yuan Yao drank a cup of tea, and suddenly vomited it all, and his stomach hurt from laughing, these goods are completely annoying, donating like this, even if everyone here makes up a lot, they can't even make up a thousand stones.

"Peng!"

Liu Xun suddenly slammed his fist on the table, spilling all the wine on the table.

His originally healthy face instantly turned from red to white, and then from white to dark blue, like a bluestone slab.

"Too much deception!"
