"I heard the dog mention, it was Lord Liu Zheng who saved the people of Lujiang, and the little old man Lu Kang is grateful."

Although Lu Kang is between Liu Zheng's identity and has a lot of complaints about Liu Zheng, when facing Liu Zheng at this time, he still seems to be knowledgeable and respectful to Liu Zheng.

And although Liu Zheng himself has heard of Lu Kang's name in history, he doesn't know much about Lu Kang, and when he saw this amiable old man at this time, Liu Zheng was a little surprised in his heart, after all, in his impression, Lu Kang should be a person who cares a lot about his identity, right, but he didn't expect this meeting to be seen.

"If Lu Kang is too guarded, I can be regarded as entrusted by Lu Jun to come to the rescue, if you really want to thank Lu Jun, you should also thank Lu Jun."

"Although it is my nephew who invited you to come to the rescue of Lujiang, after all, you are the one who rescued Lujiang, and I still have to thank you for it."

Lu Kang didn't argue with Liu either, and the words of thanks kept on his lips.

Liu Zheng smiled faintly, and then stretched out his hand to invite Lu Kang and the others into the military tent to talk slowly.

However, Lu Kang did not walk directly into the military tent, but first turned around to make a vacant seat for Liu Zheng, and behind Lu Kang, a large piece of grain and grass appeared.

"Lord Liu Zheng, you have come from afar and worked tirelessly to help us repel Yuan Shu's army, so you shouldn't have prepared much grain and grass, this is the grain and grass we have prepared for you."

Lu Kang pointed at Liu Zheng and pointed to the carts of grain and grass behind him. Some of them have already been slaughtered. It only needs to be cooked and eaten.

These things, Lu Kang and they don't take them out to eat and drink on weekdays, it is all to thank Liu Zheng for helping them repel Yuan Shu's kindness, so they will slaughter all the cattle and sheep and bring them to Liu Zheng's men and horses to eat and drink.

Such a thank-you gift really surprised Liu Zheng a little, he really didn't bring much grain and grass with him when he came to Lujiang this time. Because the army was in a hurry, and the transportation of grain and grass had to be moved in advance, and it was much slower than the marching speed, Liu Zheng and the others only came here with a few days of rations.

Although these dry foods can fill the stomach when eaten, the taste, just like that, no matter what, there is no taste of these meats that Lu Kang took out.

So after seeing the grain and grass that Lu Kang took out, Liu Zheng immediately rushed to Lu Kang to express his gratitude.

"Lu Kang is too stubborn, then I won't shirk it, thank you."

After Liu Zhengchong thanked Lu Kang, the two of them naturally walked into the Chinese army's tent. There are not many decorations in Liu Zheng's camp, it is very simple, a few tables, placed around, put a few chairs, it's as simple as that.

Lu Kang sat aside under the support of Lu Jun and Lu Jun and some cronies.

"Lu Kang Taishou, why did this Yuan Shu suddenly bring people to attack your Lujiang, I heard, wasn't he still attacking the Tiger Prison Pass with Yuan Shao and others a few days ago?"

Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others attacked the Tiger Prison Pass last year, although Liu Zheng knew about this matter, but later after Yuan Shu left the Tiger Prison Pass, he was not very clear.

So I was a little curious and wanted to ask Lu Kang.

Since Lu Kang came to thank Liu Zheng, he didn't mind talking to Liu Zheng about other things first, especially about Yuan Shu, Lu Kang didn't mind even more, so he simply began to explain to Liu Zheng when Liu Zheng asked.

"Lord Liu Zheng, don't you know, half a year ago, Yuan Shu was rewarded by the imperial court and became the new Nanyang Taishou."

Speaking of which, this matter is still related to the Yellow Turban Army, three years ago, Nanyang Taishou, because of the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, was killed by Zhang Mancheng and others, and later in order to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, the imperial court sent Jiangxia Governor Qin Jie to take over the position of Nanyang Taishou.

It's a pity that Qin Jie's life was not good, and he was killed by Liu Zheng in the battle with Liu Zheng.

At this point, Nanyang's position was vacant, because Nanyang had been under the control of the Yellow Turban Army at that time, and after the Yellow Turban Army was destroyed for a long time, Zhang Ning, Zhao Hong and others had been occupying Nanyang, until later, Zhang Ning and others retreated to Lingling County and defected to Liu Zheng, and Nanyang returned to the hands of the imperial court.

At that time, Yuan Shu was promoted to Nanyang Taishou because of his meritorious service in following Huangfu Song to fight for thieves.

"After Yuan Shu became the Taishou of Nanyang, and then occupied Runan County, their Yuan family was already very powerful in Runan. So in order to strengthen himself, he naturally fell in love with my Lujiang. ”

"A month ago, Yuan Shu was preparing for the spring season and wanted me to give him 200,000 stone of grain and grass. He Yuan Shu followed Yuan Shao to rebel and attack the imperial court, such a rebellious act, where would I go with him, I directly refused. ”

"Yuan Shu is angry, so he used this as an excuse to bring people to attack me, and in a month, he occupied all parts of my Lujiang County, leaving only my county town still struggling to support."

Lu Kang's description is more detailed, much clearer than what Liu Zheng heard from Lu Jun before, after all, Lu Jun could only make a long story short because of time at that time.

"So, now Yuan Shu's people, although they have withdrawn from the county seat of Lujiang County, still occupy other county towns in Lujiang County?"

Lu Kang nodded with a displeased expression.

"Yes, although the danger of Lujiang City is now lifted, other places are still occupied by Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, and it is not so easy to fight back, Yuan Shu still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

Lu Kang said to Liu Zheng earnestly.

It stands to reason that since Liu Zheng has already helped Lu Kang defeat Yuan Shu, it is okay to continue to help Lu Kang fight back to other places in Lujiang, but this time, Liu Zheng did not take the initiative to take this matter under him.

He didn't speak, just nodded understandingly.

Lu Kang didn't know what to say, but Lu Jun on the side was a little anxious, seeing that Liu Zheng was not as active as he was when he was in Yichun at the beginning, Lu Jun hurriedly asked Liu Zheng.

"Brother Liu, what my uncle means is actually to ask you, do you think you can help my uncle drive Yuan Shu's people out of Lujiang?"

Lu Kang was embarrassed to speak, so he could only let his nephew behind him speak.

After all, Lu Jun and Liu Zheng have some friendship, and it is better to let Lu Jun open his mouth than Lu Kang to say this.

Liu Zheng seemed to understand that Lu Jun would say this, but he didn't agree immediately.

Instead, he hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Brother Lu, I'm here to help you rescue Lujiang, in fact, for your sake, if you let me go against Yuan Shu, I'm afraid ......"
