At the beginning of October, the weather turned cooler.

Cheng Pu, the general of the Jiangdong Army, escorted 20,000 stone of grain to Wuchang City.

"The last general, Cheng Pu, was ordered to escort the grain to come in exchange for the young master, and now that the food has been delivered, I hope the general will keep his promise and return the young master Sun Ce." In the lobby of the county guard's mansion, Cheng Pu bowed.

Lu Bu sat on the top seat, holding a piece of music in his hand and flipping through it.

Next to the big Qiao Yanmo.

Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, and Cao Xing, lined up on both sides.

Lu Bu raised his eyes and said, "General Cheng, don't worry, I will keep my promise." ”

"General Xie."

"Someone, go and bring Sun Ce."

"No."

The two Dragon Guard soldiers hurriedly left.

After a while, Sun Ce was taken to the lobby, his hands were bound, and his feet were dragged with chains, like a prisoner.

"My lord." Cheng Pu looked surprised and hurriedly ran over.

"Don't worry, old general, I'm fine." Sun Cehan laughed. Immediately meeting Lu Bu's gaze, Sun Ce stopped smiling: "Even after you have received the grain, you still don't untie the rope for me?" ”

Lu Bu slowly got up, walked to the landing platform, and pulled out the Qingyu Sword.

This action startled Cheng Pu, and he hurriedly said: "General Lao Lu, let's untie it ourselves." ”

"No, it must be untied by me."

Lu Bu held the Qingyu Sword, walked up to Sun Ce, and with a sword, cut the rope on Sun Ce's hand, and along the way, he also cut off one of his fingers, and blood gushed wildly, spraying out.

"Ahh Lu Bu, you! Sun Ce was caught off guard and was in great pain.

Cheng Pu was furious.

"I'm sorry, the swordsmanship has regressed." After saying this, Lu Bu chuckled, threw the Qingyu sword behind his back, and accurately inserted it into the scabbard two zhang away.

Obviously, cutting off Sun Ce's finger was not because of bad swordsmanship, but on purpose.

Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, and Cao Xing all laughed secretly.

"Why is General Lu like this?" Cheng Pu couldn't help but ask.

"Gan Ning, bring me the map." Lu Bu shouted.

Gan Ning took out a map and opened it in front of everyone.

Lu Bu pointed to the map and said: "You can see clearly, from now on, as far as Changsha and Hankou in the south, and Lujiang and Huiji in the north, wherever there is water, your warships are not allowed to sail." Your territory is on the east side of Nanhai County. If I find out that there is a warship of the Jiangdong Army that has come to Neijiang, I will regard it as a provocation, and I will personally lead the army and destroy your Jiaozhou. Do you understand? ”

"You... Burst! Sun Ce was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"My lord." Cheng Pu looked worried.

"It's too much of a deception." Sun Ce's face was fierce, like a hungry wolf waiting to be fed. Cheng Pu hurriedly stopped him, for fear that he would do something stupid. If you do it in Lu Bu's territory, it is tantamount to looking for death.

"Report..." At this time, a soldier of the Dragon Guard Army ran into the lobby and reported to Lu Buyu: "Lord, Kuaiyue's grain convoy has also entered Wuchang City. Now I am waiting outside the house. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Detain the grain and drive the people away." ”

"No."

The soldier left.

Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce and said, "Sun Bofu, I have done my best to be benevolent to you, don't be ignorant." Do you know how much food Kuai Yue gave me? I didn't give you to him for a whole 50,000 stones, what else do you have to complain about? If even Neijiang doesn't want to give it to me, I might as well hand you over to Kuai Yue and see how he cleans you up. ”

Sun Ce and Cheng Pu were shocked, Lu Bu actually deceived Kuai Yue.

After reacting, Cheng Pu hurriedly said: "General Lu, we are willing to hand over Neijiang to you, and hope that you will keep your promise and let us go." ”

"Okay, it's better to understand the reason." Lu Bu smiled.

"No, Neijiang can't give it to him..." Sun Ce hurriedly grabbed Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu said in a low voice: "Lord, now is not the time to talk about this, it is important to get out early." ”

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise to withdraw from Neijiang." But the Huang Zu family must be handed over to me and I will dispose of it. ”

"Okay, that's how it should be."

Lu Bu didn't hesitate and agreed directly. Anyway, Huang Zu has also lost his effect, so it is better to be a favor.

After the discussion, Sun Ce and Cheng Pu left.

Cao Xuan took them to arrest Huang Zu's family and Huang Zu who was trapped in the prison.

"This Sun Bofu is a person who has revenge... I really want to kill him with a knife. Lu Bu hesitated for a while, but still didn't do that. In case the Jingzhou army comes and makes a feud with the Sun family, Jiangxia will inevitably be attacked on both sides.

The generals gasped.

Lu Bu sat down and said, "Now Jiangxia County has been decided, and it needs an army to garrison it. Wenyuan, don't go back to Yangzhou for the time being, stay here, and wait for the new Taishou to take office and recruit the county soldiers, and then you will leave. ”

"No."

"As for the Jiangfang Battalion Naval Army, it has been cut from 40,000 to 30,000, and Gan Ning is the governor of the Naval Army, and the general leader of the Naval Army." Lu Bu continued.

Gan Ning was overjoyed, knelt down and said: "Thank you for your trust, the last general will do everything he can to protect my Jiangxia border defense." ”

"Well, get up." Lu Budao: "Not only the Jiangxia frontier, but also the entire Neijiang, from Changsha and Hankou in the south to Huiji and Lujiang in the north, are all under the jurisdiction of our naval army, and troops can be sent to garrison at will." ”

"No." Gan Ningle couldn't close his mouth.

Wei Yan was envious, and thought, "My skills are not bad, I should also be reused, right?" ”

"If you want to control thousands of miles of Neijiang and 30,000 water troops, I'm afraid it won't work, right?" Zhang Liao said.

Gan Ning also reacted and asked, "Yes, my lord, why do you want to cut the army?" Isn't it better to have 40,000 sailors? ”

Lu Budao: "As far as I know, the number of fighting ships, ships, and building ships in the Jiangfang Camp Water Village can only carry 20,000 soldiers, is it necessary to form an army of 40,000?" When the number of your warships can carry 30,000 soldiers, it is not too late to expand. Besides, among the 40,000 sailors, there are many people from big families, and they must be eliminated. ”

"No." Gan Ning did not feel disappointed, but was high-spirited.

"I didn't expect the lord to know so much about the situation in Jiangfang Yingshui Village." Zhang Liao was a little surprised.

"Everything in the world is under my control, how can you hide it from me." Lu Bu took a deep breath, got up and said, "Okay, now that everything is arranged, I will return to Yangzhou on the same day." You have to garrison Jiangxia well and don't let me down. ”

"No."

The congregation will answer.

The families of Jiangxia County, hearing that Lu Bu's forces were coming, fled to Xiangyang one after another.

Zhang Liao's purge plan failed, and he failed to eliminate all the families. It is precisely because of this that favorable conditions were created for Zhang Liao to pacify Jiangxia.

The fourteen counties of Jiangxia were all surrendered.

In just half a month, the situation was stabilized.

After the people of Kuai Yue were driven away, they returned to Xiangyang to resume their lives. When Kuai Yue learned of this, he was furious and encouraged Liu Bei and Cai Mao to join forces and counterattack Jiangxia. However, Cai Mao wanted to rule Jingzhou, and now that Huang Zu is dead, Liu Biao's longevity is approaching, and it is when he rises, how can he waste troops in vain and make enemies with Lu Bu. And Liu Bei had the heart to help, but he couldn't do anything, and in the end, he couldn't do it.
