Chapter Forty-Eight: Changes in the Family
On this day, Yuan Shu was handling government affairs in the General's Mansion, and suddenly Guo Jia came.
"Lord, there has been movement in the Zhang family recently."
A gleam flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes: "Oh? Are they finally holding back? ”
Guo Jia smiled: "Lord, you are doing such a great job, the Zhang family is naturally going to jump off the wall in a hurry." ”
"However, the head of the Lu family secretly sent someone to send me a letter to report the matter."
"Oh?" These old foxes are really clever.
"Since the Lu family knows each other so well, then we naturally have to respond. Fengxiao, wait until this matter is over, promote Lu Kang to Huiji Taishou, and then talk to the Lu family. ”
Guo Jia nodded.
Lu Kang is the head of the Lu family in Jiangdong and once served as the Taishou of Lujiang.
After Yuan Shu was named the Taishou of Yangzhou, he named Sun Jian as the Taishou of Lujiang, in order to firmly control the most important county in Yangzhou. So Lu Kang was demoted, and how could he tolerate this matter as the other party? simply go straight into the field and wait and see what happens.
I was going to carefully observe what kind of person Yuan Shu was, if he didn't have any ability, he would be in the air, and he could live in seclusion behind the scenes or serve as the Taishou of Lujiang again.
If Yuan Shu is still a hero, he wants to control Jiangdong and is willing to accept the Jiangnan family, he will inevitably use himself again.
Lu Kang's abacus played very well, but he didn't expect to meet Yuan Shu, a master who didn't play cards according to the routine.
I wanted to wait and see what was going on, and watch the fire from the other side. As a result, the other party didn't say hello when he came up, and without saying a word, he just came down with a set of combination punches.
Before Lu Kang could figure out what the situation was, he found that it seemed that the situation was no longer under his control.
The entire Yangzhou seemed to be out of the control of the family and was pinched in the palm of Yuan Shu's hand.
Facing the Yuan family and 130,000 elite soldiers of the fourth world and the third duke behind Yuan Shu, Lu Kang found that he really didn't seem to have any way at all.
And the other party is not impatient, very stable, the Gu family and the Zhu family have already found the problem and slowly moved closer to each other. Now only the Lu family and the Zhang family are left, and the position is very awkward.
I want to surrender, but I can't resist the sincerity that I can't get it, and the other party doesn't seem to need his own defection very much.
Speaking from the heart, if Lu Kang is in Yuan Shu's position, it is estimated that the decision to choose is to use the Gu family and the Zhu family to suppress the Lu family and the Zhang family, and even eliminate the two of them who are the head snakes of the land.
Then slowly weaken the remaining two families and support the other small families. Or just pull the Yuan family over, and the family is dominant.
Facing Yuan Shu, who has a profound and powerful background, Lu Kang was completely panicked.
At this time, the Zhang family came to contact him, hoping to form an alliance with him against Yuan Shu.
Zhang Hyun's old thing Lu Kang knows too well, he is only a mediocre and short-sighted. Although he has successfully maintained the status of the four major families of the Zhang family as the head of the family for so many years, in fact, because of his domineering behavior and many bad things, the Zhang family has been in danger.
However, the other party was able to find his own alliance, but Lu Kang was very surprised. It's not because Lu Kang's brain was pumped and he wanted to fight against Yuan Shu and kill himself. But the Zhang family can just be used as a great gift for the Lu family to surrender to Yuan Shu.
Lu Kang quietly pretended to be in alliance with the other party, showing his indignation at Yuan Shu from time to time, but secretly kept listening to the information of the Zhang family.
As a result, a big surprise was discovered, and the other party contacted Fei Zhan, the commander of the Shanyue people in Danyang, and prepared to attack Danyang.
Lu Kang reported the news to Yuan Shu as soon as possible, and did not hide it at all.
Because he knew that Yuan Shu was a hero, it was enough to see this according to a series of actions since he entered Yangzhou.
As the male master, the intelligence of the natural forces will not be bad, and I am afraid that every move of himself and the Zhang family is under the surveillance of the other party. It is estimated that no matter how slow the other party is, it will be able to detect it in the near future, and if you report it as soon as possible, it will be a charcoal in the snow, and if it is late, it will be the icing on the cake.
How could Lu Kang, who was an old man, not understand this truth, and secretly passed the news to Guo Jia, who was in charge of intelligence under Yuan Shu, as soon as possible.
As a result, Guo Jia received these two identical pieces of information at the same time, almost indiscriminately, and came to report to Yuan Shu.
"Bonghyo, tell me the details."
"Yes, my lord. There are about 400,000 Shanyue people in Yangzhou, all of whom live in remote mountains and are difficult to defeat. There are nearly 100,000 Shanyue people in Danyang, and about 30,000 are young and strong. The Shanyue army that was preparing to attack Danyang this time was about 20,000 people, and the leader of the command was named Feizhan, and the target was Danyang. The lord only needs to send any one of the trapped camps or the first dead soldiers to defeat it, and then send 500 cavalry to chase down the defeated army and destroy it all. ”
Yuan Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Let the trap camp go with the first dead soldiers." The elite who has seen blood is the real elite, and accidents can also be prevented. As for the remaining five hundred cavalry, send Bo Fu. ”
Thinking of his vigorous and tiger-headed righteous son, Yuan Shu couldn't help laughing.
Guo Jia nodded, this is a good thing for pure military merit, and it is good to let Sun Ce go.
Sun Jian's son Guo Jia also saw it, and he gave a comment at the time: This son's qualifications are not inferior to those of the overlord of Chu!
If it weren't for his impatient personality, Guo Jia felt that Sun Ce was enough to be a partial general.
There must be no problem in sending Sun Ce there, not to mention that the son-in-law of the lord is still under Sun Ce's command.
Thinking of the young master who was only a middle-aged man, Guo Jia sighed.
The road has been paved, I hope you can be more aggressive, young master, and don't live up to the lord's cultivation and expectations for you!
"Who else is with the Zhang family this time?"
Guo Jia's face froze: "In addition to the Zhang family, there are seven or eight small and medium-sized families and many wealthy gentry. In addition, Huang Zu of Jingzhou seems to be involved. ”
Yuan Shu smiled lightly: "The Huang family's hand in Jingzhou is a little long!" ”
"Fengxiao, after Shanyue is defeated, quickly take down all these people in Yangzhou and their families. All those directly involved in this matter were beheaded for public display, the other men were beaten as slaves to build roads, all the women rushed to the textile workshop, and not a single direct descendant was left. ”
"As for the confiscation of all the property under their command and the redistribution of the vacated official positions, remember to focus on taking care of the people of the Lu family, even if it is a return gift from my Yuan Shu."
"Yes. So what about the lord, the people of the Huang family? ”
"Let Wang Rong suppress and warn, we can't do anything to them for the time being, we must focus on the overall situation."
A sly smile hung on the corner of Guo Jia's mouth: "The lord is wise." However, the lord, I heard that the Cai family seems to have some disagreements with the Huang family. ”
Yuan Shu waved his hand: "These are up to you." However, you must remember to count the fields and black household slaves under the command of the Jiangdong family, and don't let other families take the opportunity to pick up the cheap. In addition, looking at the Lu family, although the old man is quite knowledgeable, we still have to guard against it. ”
Guo Jia bowed: "Yes, Jia understands." Jia is going to prepare. ”
Yuan Shu nodded and continued to be busy with his government affairs.
It seems that it won't be long before this Jiangdong will completely have the surname Yuan.
