Xu Gong held his short beard in one hand and behind his back with the other, pacing back and forth in front of the hall, his steps heavy and hurried, and when he turned very violently, people always worried that he would fall to the ground. The two doormen pressed their knives and stood at the foot of the stairs, looking at each other. They had just received news that a few people led by Lu Kang had left the city and their whereabouts were unknown. Considering that Sun Ce was stationed in Tiger Hill, they should have gone to vote for Sun Ce. originally thought that Xu Gong would be furious and send troops to arrest their families, but he didn't expect that although Xu Gong was very angry, he didn't take action. This is not quite in line with Xu Gong's character, and they are unpredictable for a while.

Xu Gong saw the doubts of the doormen, but said nothing. He was in a bad mood and wanted to kill him, but he knew he couldn't. Maybe Sun Ce is waiting for him to do this, only in this way can he win without a fight.

Having served in Wu County for many years, Xu Gong is very clear about the strength of the Wu County family. Sheng Xian was too punctual in Wu County, and when he was the governor of Wu County, he felt that Sheng Xian was too lenient to the Wu County family, and put forward several opinions, but Sheng Xian refused to listen to him, and reprimanded him for being troublesome, so the two were at odds. Sheng Xian resigned due to illness, and he took over as the Taishou of Wu County, wanting to be unfavorable to Sheng Xian, but was strongly opposed by Gao Dai, and finally had to give up.

Gao Dai is just a scholar, but behind him is the Wu Jun family. It was easy to kill Gao Dai, but if he offended the Wu Jun family, he, the newly appointed Wu Jun Taishou, would not be able to do it. He wanted to delay for a few years, establish a solid foundation and then make plans, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to come, and then Liu Miao came again, and Wu County became a battlefield and the focus of contention between the two sides.

Sun Cebing came to the city, and what they fought for was not so much Gusu City, but the hearts of the Wujun family. The big war was imminent, Lu Kang and others went out of the city to vote for Sun Ce, which of course did not suit Xu Gong's wishes, but the fact that they could calmly go out of the city was enough to show that the soldiers of Wu County did not completely obey his command Xu Gong, and there were quite a few people who were sitting and watching the success or failure.

Gusu City is too big, eight land gates, eight water gates, he can't control it at all. It's like the hearts of the people of Wu County.

"Let's go, wait until Sun Ce is defeated, and then settle accounts with them." Xu Gong gritted his teeth, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, revealing a bit hideous. "I was looking for a chance to clean them up, and they sent them to the door. Ordered the generals, the soldiers, the battle tomorrow, kill Sun Ce, and see who else these Wu'er can rely on. ”

The doorman received the order and turned around and went to the battalions to give orders.

Xu Gong was tired, returned to the table, and supported his forehead with his hand, his heartbeat was unsettling. He is in a mess right now, and he wants to talk to someone, but he can't trust anyone. Originally, Xu Jing could be trusted, but Xu Jing was gone, and he never returned, as if he had fled. This left him disappointed and uneasy.

Am I really not Sun Ce's opponent? What a joke. I have an army of 10,000 and he has only five or six thousand, how can I be defeated. Tiger Hill is a closed mound, and Sun Ce set up camp on the mound, isn't this self-defeating.

Tomorrow, I will break Sun Ce, and then I will clean up these Wu Jun families when I go back. Xu Gong puffed himself up, turned around and entered the room, and lay on the bed with his clothes.

——

The morning sun is rising, Tiger Hill.

Lu Kang followed Shen You up the stairs and came to the Thousand People Stone, and saw that the ground was spotless and empty, only the middle was paved with a mat, and there was a case.

Lu Kang stood still and looked back at Shen You. "Zizheng, what does this mean?"

Shen You smiled and stretched out his hand. Lu Kang turned his head and saw Cai Mao walking briskly, followed by several attendants, two of them carrying the seat, one holding the case, one holding the incense burner, and the other holding Ruyi. Coming to the front, quickly spread the mat, set up the case, put the incense burner and Ruyi, and set up the seats in a moment, and the attendants rushed away, the footsteps were brisk and silent, and the steps were adjusted in unison.

Cai Mao stretched out her hand to invite. "Lu Gong, please."

Lu Kang took a look, understood, and happily sat down.

Two more waiters came, one set up a flag seat behind the banquet, one unfolded a pennant, inserted on the seat, the flag was full of flowers, and a seal book in the middle was a big character, which was the Lu character of the Lu family. Lu Kang saw it, smiled and shook his head, disapproving.

"Where is General Sun?"

"General Sun is practicing martial arts by the sword pond and will be there later. Order Cong Sun Lu to accompany him, if Lu Gong wants to go and see, I can accompany you. ”

Lu Kang glanced up and saw that there were indeed several figures jumping back and forth beside the sword pool, and the cold light was shining. He shook his head. "I have heard General Sun dance when he hears the rooster crowing for a long time, and his name is well deserved. Since I was accompanied by Ah Yi, I would not go, lest he see me and come again to salute, and I could not be single-minded. ”

Cai Mao nodded in agreement. The two gossiped for a while, and another young man walked quickly, glanced around, came to Lu Kang, and bowed. "Gong Lu, you're really early."

Lu Kang smiled. "Zisigh, you're not late." He also introduced to Cai Mao: "This is Gu Hui Gu Zisian of the Gu family, the younger brother of my son-in-law Yuan Si. ”

Cai Mao stepped forward and saluted, clapped his hands, and a waiter came out, set up a table on Lu Kang's right side, put incense burners and Ruyi, and invited Gu Hui to take a seat. The waiter stood up again, Gu Hui saw it in his eyes, felt interesting, clapped his hands and smiled: "Come to one person, set up a table, if you don't come, then there will be no seat?" ”

Cai Mao smiled and said nothing, please take a seat. Gu Hui exchanged a few words with Lu Kang, and when he learned that Lu Kang had left the city last night and came to Sun Ce's camp, he couldn't help laughing. The two were talking enthusiastically, and two more came together. Gu Hui glanced at it and said with a smile: "Duke Lu, Zhang Bozong and Zhu Xiumu are here." I'm going to greet you, Lu Gong, please sit down. ”

Lu Kang nodded. He is a senior, and there is no need to get up to greet him. Gu Hui is the same generation as Zhang Yun and Zhu Huan, so he can't be too big. Gu Hui got up and left the table, put on his shoes, walked quickly to the front of the steps, and stood with his hands arched. Zhang Yun and Zhu Huan saw it clearly, hurried over with their pace, bowed their hands, and glanced at the situation in the field again, Zhu Huan was a little anxious.

"Bozong, I said come at night, you have to say that you are not in a hurry, now it's good, you are behind Zisi, and you don't even have a place, so you can only stand."

Zhang Yun laughed. "Hugh Mu, you're too anxious, you see, the seat isn't coming."

When Zhu Huan saw the waiter set up a table, he turned his anger into joy and arched his hand. "Zi sighed and didn't smile."

"Don't dare." Gu Hui raised his eyebrows. "I have heard for a long time that Xiu Mu is superb in martial arts, and General Sun is practicing martial arts by the sword pool, are you interested in taking a look?"

Zhu Huan was moved, and was about to nod, but was grabbed by Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun raised his chin and motioned to Zhu Huan to look at Lu Kang, who was sitting on the seat. "Duke Lu is here, how can he be rude, it is better to come forward to meet you first, occupy your seat, and then go to see General Sun."

Zhu Huan slapped his forehead, laughed twice in self-deprecation, and came to Lu Kang with Zhang Yun and bowed down. Lu Kang returned the salute and introduced it to Cai Mao. Cai Mao had already received the relevant list, but it was the first time she had seen them in person, so she hurriedly returned the salute and invited them to take a seat. He exchanged a look with Shen You on the side, just as Shen You expected, the four families led by Lu Kang not only came, but also came the earliest.
