Zhang Xun and Lei Bo have not yet set off, and there is news that Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, is dissatisfied with Yuan Shu as the emperor, and is colluding with Lu Su to plot rebellion.

Lu Kang had the name of a righteous martyr when he was young, and he dared to speak out to advise Emperor Ling after becoming an official. Historically, he was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's self-respect in Huainan and the fierce confrontation with Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to break through the Lujiang River, and Lu Kang died of illness soon after the city was broken.

Because of Liu Zhang's appearance, Lu Kang, who was supposed to die of illness after the city was broken in 195 AD, is still alive, and has been having a bad relationship with Yuan Shu since he refused to support Yuan Shu's grain and grass three years ago.

This year, Lu Kang is seventy-two years old, which can be said to be a long life in ancient times when medical conditions are backward, but Lu Kang has clearly felt that he is powerless for many things, since he learned that Sun Lu Xun served as the Taishou of Wu County in Shu, he has the heart to take refuge in Shu, and Yuan Shu said that the emperor can be said to be the last straw that pressed the camel, and he was exhausted He planned to hand over the land of the Han Dynasty in Lujiang to the descendants of the Liu family, and then returned to Wu County to live in the old age.

It's a pity that he didn't act secretly, and Yuan Shu, who had always been wary of Lu Kang, found out the news, so Yuan Shu immediately ordered Lei Bo to set off immediately, and he must break through the Lujiang River before the Shu army.

Lei Bo didn't dare to delay, and immediately led the troops to set off and went straight to the Lujiang River.

After Lu Kang learned that Lei Bo's army had entered, he reorganized his army in Shu County and reported to Lu Su quickly, asking him to immediately send troops to rescue.

Lei Bo knew Yuan Shu's character, and did not dare to slack off at all, and he rushed to the outside of Shu County in only six days along the way, and the 80,000 army besieged Shu County, and after the surrender was fruitless, he immediately began to make siege equipment such as ladders and wells. After just one day, it was ready and launched a fierce attack.

There are only 10,000 soldiers in Shu County, and it was impossible to resist the 80,000 army of Yuan Shu, but since Lu Kang became the Taishou of Lujiang, he first eliminated the bandit Huang Sui who had been rampant in Lujiang for many years, and then implemented the policy of light and light labor in Lujiang, and tried his best to restore the people's livelihood, so he was deeply loved by the people of Lujiang. Almost every day, the people who can't survive secretly flee to Lujiang, through the real experience told by these fleeing people, so that the entire Lujiang people will call Yuan Shu Yuan disaster, thinking that once Yuan Shu occupies Lujiang, then they will face the same situation as the people of Jiujiang, of course they can't agree), the same hatred of the enemy has increased greatly, or sign up for the army, or fund military funds, or renovate the city defense, or make weapons, armor, military uniforms, and so on. With the help of thousands of people in Lujiang, and the defenders of Shu County are all local people, defending Shucheng is to protect their own families, so they are brave and fearless when fighting, and finally temporarily block Lei Bo's onslaught.

Lu Kang was not happy, he knew that the grain and grass in the city could only support the needs of a month, if the siege could not be lifted within a month, then the soldiers and civilians in the city would be ruthlessly slaughtered by Yuan Shu, but he could not show it, but assured everyone again and again that Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, had sent a righteous army to relieve the siege, as long as he persisted, he could save his life and that of his family......

Lu Su of Danyang soon received Lu Kang's request for help, and he had already been ordered by Liu Zhang to gather a large army to prepare for the crusade against Yuan Shu, he immediately led the Second Fleet of the Navy to transport the First Independent Brigade of the Navy and the Third Independent Brigade of the Cavalry to cross the river to rescue Lu Kang, Gan Ning commanded the First Fleet of the Navy and the Marine Division of the Navy to go straight to Chaohu Lake, capture Hefei, cut off the return route of Lei Bo's 80,000 army, and at the same time ordered Zhang Liao of Xiling to lead the Second Infantry Division, the Eighth Infantry Division and the Second Independent Cavalry Brigade to Shu County immediately to join him.

Lu Su was saying goodbye to Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, but saw Lu Xun, who was only fourteen years old, and Tai Shici coming together.

It turned out that after Lu Xun learned that his grandfather Lu Kang was surrounded by Yuan Shu, he was very worried about Lu Kang's safety, so he handed over the affairs of the county to the lord Bo and immediately rushed to Danyang, hoping to go to Lujiang with the army. As for Tai Shici, he has been leading a division of cavalry to gallop in the three counties south of the Yangtze River, which is not only to train troops, but also to use powerful cavalry to deter Shanyue from acting rashly, once he leaves the mountains and forests, he will definitely become a ghost under the cavalry gun! Hearing that Yuan Shu was going to be fought, Tai Shici, who had never fought any decent battles, immediately couldn't stay still and came to ask Lu Su for battle. The two met on the way, so they came together.

Lu Su reprimanded Lu Xun a few words, after all, leaving his post without permission is a very serious crime, but for the sake of his filial piety, after discussing with Liu Xuan, he only punished him for a quarter of Lu Lu as a punishment, but Lu Su did not agree to Lu Xun's request, although the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River have stabilized on the surface, but after all, it has not been new for a long time, the foundation of Shu in the three counties is still shallow, and Lu Xun is very famous in Wu County, at this time, it is the time when he needs to sit in the town to calm people's hearts, how can he easily let him leave? Lu Su, as the commander of the Third Field Army, assured him that he would definitely rush to Shucheng as quickly as possible and do his best to ensure Lu Kang's safety.

Similarly, Tai Shici's request was also rejected by Lu Su, not to mention that the 13th Cavalry Division is a newly formed unit, although it has always maintained a strong amount of training, and has also had a small confrontation with Shanyue, but how can it be so easy to train into a qualified cavalry? At this time, the 13th Cavalry Division did not have the ability to participate in the battle of the large corps, and it could not help much when it arrived on the battlefield, but it was different to stay in the three counties south of the Yangtze River. Obviously, the role of the 13th Cavalry Division in staying in the three counties of Jiangnan is even more obvious, and Tai Shici also knows this, so he had to leave in a huff. After that, in order to make the 13th Cavalry Division form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and there is no need to stay to watch the family and care for the hospital as it is now, Tai Shici has added a lot of burdens to the already heavy training amount, which makes the officers and soldiers of the whole division complain, but because of this, the 13th Cavalry Division soon became an elite division of the Shu army!

Two days later, the army boarded ships in the area of Spring Valley, and then went their separate ways according to their respective tasks.

The next day, Lu Su led his troops to land at Linhu, and the 3rd Independent Cavalry Brigade went to Shucheng as the vanguard of the whole army after a short rest.

Linhu to Shucheng is only more than 100 miles, Lei Bo quickly broke through Shucheng's plan to fail and began to worry that Lu Su in the south of the Yangtze River will go north to rescue, in order to avoid a surprise attack, he sent a large number of scouts disguised to monitor the movement of the Yangtze River, the news of the landing of the Shu fleet soon reached Lei Bo's ears.

After learning that the Shu army had indeed come to help, Lei Bo immediately changed his deployment, suspended the attack on Shucheng, and blocked the four gates of Shucheng with 10,000 soldiers to prevent Lu Kang from going out of the city to respond; With the deputy general Chen Lan as the vanguard, the army led 20,000 troops, and the formation was lined up by Shucheng with their backs, and Lei Bo led the army in the hills west of Shucheng.

The third independent cavalry brigade soon arrived at Shucheng, seeing that the other side greeted each other, only 4,000 cavalry Ma Dai did not rush to attack, he sent someone to inform Lu Su of the news, while commanding the army to gallop in the south of Shucheng, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, even Lu Kang learned the news regardless of his illness (Yuan Shu besieged the city after he was frightened and sick), ordered people to support the city wall, pointing to the majestic Shu cavalry to all the soldiers and civilians to cheer up, encourage everyone to work together, Survive this last difficult time.

I have long heard people say how powerful the Shu army is, since the beginning of Dong Shi, so far it is not a defeat, known as the winning division by the world, Chen Lan, who has never fought with the Shu army, never believed it, heard that the Shu army came and couldn't help but be excited, as long as the Shu army is defeated, His Majesty the emperor must look at himself differently, and it is not a problem to add officials to the knight, but who knows that the other party will retreat when he sees his military might, which makes him even more disdainful of the Shu army, it seems that it is not the Shu army that is powerful, but their former enemies are too incompetent!

It's a pity that the other party is all cavalry, and he only has more than 100 cavalry for orders and reconnaissance in his hands, so he can only watch the Shu army show off its might two or three miles away. Chen Lan couldn't help but think that he must take off the shiny clothes on Shu Jun's body outside Shucheng, so that everyone can see who is the real hero and who is the real hero of the troubled times!

Lu Su got Ma Dai's report, and couldn't help but look at this Lei Bo differently, Shu County is located in the aftermath of Dabie Mountain, the territory is mountainous and hilly, and it is almost impossible to find a battlefield to open up the 100,000 troops on both sides, so he besieged the city with 10,000 soldiers, and the two armies confronted him, and the main force was stationed in the mountains and hills formed by the remaining veins of Dabie Mountain on the left, so that once Chen Lan was in danger, he could rush down the mountains and hills in one go, and enter the battlefield to solve the danger; At the same time, he could take advantage of the cover of the hills to divide his troops to sneak up on his rear; Another point, obviously Lei Bo did not forget Jiangxia's Shu army, he stationed the main force in the remaining veins of Dabie Mountain, which is equivalent to mastering this natural defense line, which can block the Shu army from Jiangxia in the west of Dabie Mountain.

Ma Dai waited outside Shucheng until the red sun was slanting westward, until the Yuan army had no time to continue attacking Shucheng that day, and then he gave an order to go back and forth, joined Lusu, and slept in a small town that night.
