On 18 November, bandits appeared in the west of Anhui County.

That day and night, countless bandits rushed into Zhao's house and robbed unscrupulously.

The Zhao family is a powerful party in the west of Anhui County, and the family has 800 private soldiers, which are rampant. However, when the bandits rushed into Zhao's house, the eight hundred private soldiers were like ants on the ground, dying when they stepped on it, without any resistance. The unknown bandits killed the people of the Zhao family and robbed all the money, and only some of the attendants and maidservants survived.

On 20 November, another bandit appeared in the south of Anhui County.

This time, the target of this group of bandits was the Fei family in Anhui County. The Fei family, like the Zhao family, is a well-known and powerful family in Anhui County, raising 600 private soldiers, and is a famous family in Anhui County. In the face of the attack of the bandits, the Fei family was easily destroyed, and some of the maidservants and attendants spread the news.

On November 21, bandits robbed the Hu family in the south of Anhui County.

On November 24, bandits robbed Liu's house in the southwest of Anhui County.

Every day or two, or every few days, a famous clan is robbed.

If you analyze carefully, you can find that the Zhao family, the Fei family, the Hu family, and the Liu family are not good birds, they are all rampant and domineering families. These families have financial resources and strength, but they are not profound families, but they are just powerful families in the township. These families were plundered, and the common people praised them, but the rest of the powerful families were in danger.

For a time, the peaceful situation in Anhui County was broken.

Everything was recorded by Lu Xun, and someone was sent to track the situation.

When the major powerful families were robbed one after another, the news of Sun Jian's defeat and killing also came out. The Haoqiang family suffered a big loss, and the people applauded and applauded. However, when the news of Sun Jian's death broke, Anhui County seemed to be in a violent storm, and the people were in danger, smelling the coming storm.

Lu Xun knew that something was wrong, so he didn't hesitate anymore and rushed to the Taishou Mansion to meet Lu Kang.

It is true that Lu Kang does not agree with Lu Xun's premature contact with political affairs, but he also has to admit that Lu Xun is talented and is the top figure of the younger generation of the Lu family, which is an indisputable fact. Even his baby son is not as good as Lu Xun.

In front of Lu Kang, Lu Xun didn't dare to make a mistake.

He put away his frivolous posture, sat upright, and said solemnly: "Congzu, based on the situation in all aspects, Anhui County has fallen into some kind of conspiracy. You can carefully analyze, why did bandits suddenly appear in the calm Anhui County? Why didn't the news of King Wu's killing come sooner or later, but at this time? This matter must be treated with caution. ”

Lu Kang said: "The old man already knows about the bandits. ”

Lu Xun asked: "In this case, how to deal with Congzu?" ”

Lu Kang didn't answer, and immediately asked, "Lu Xun, do you think the news of King Wu's killing is true?" ”

Lu Xun replied: "Congzu, the news is indeed true. A few days ago, when I asked Lu Ji to tell you that there were bandits, I sent people to pay attention to the news from all sides, and also sent people to inquire about the surrounding news, and inadvertently got the news that King Wu was defeated and killed. Not only that, but the eldest prince Sun Ce, the naval governor Zhou Yu, and the veterans Huang Gai and Zu Mao were also defeated and killed. Now, Wang Can has led a large army towards Yuzhang County, intending to take Yuzhang County. ”

After hearing this, Lu Kang's brows furrowed.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, it may be that the thieves who made trouble heard the news of King Wu's killing early, and then took the opportunity to make trouble, wanting to reap the benefits at this time. ”

Lu Xun shook his head and said, "Congzu, things are not simple. ”

Lu Kang smiled: "What's complicated, didn't you say that Wang Can led the army to Yuzhang County?" That being the case, the turmoil in Anhui County must have been committed by bandits, and nothing else would have happened. ”

Lu Xun said affirmatively: "Congzu, I think there may be traces of Wang Can among them. ”

Lu Kang stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Xun, and scolded with a smile: "You kid knows that he is cranky, Wang Can is not an immortal, he does not have three heads and six arms, he is busy attacking Yuzhang County, how can he have spare time to incite bandits to make trouble." Well, even if Wang Can is fanning the flames, but without Wang Can's army as a backup, everything is paper-paste, the old man leads the army to attack, and the bandits will definitely be exterminated. ”

Lu Xun said: "Congzu, at this time, we should think about the long term and think carefully. ”

Lu Kang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Why did you kid mother-in-law, you were the one who made the old man pay attention to the bandits, and it was you who made the old man cautious, and you sent troops?" Or not to send troops? Didn't figure out what you think. I think that back then, the old man led the army to suppress Huang Sui, and the army was killed, and everything was solved. ”

Lu Xun said: "This time, that time, can't be confused. ”

Lu Kang waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter, you stay in the city, and the old man will lead three thousand soldiers to suppress the bandits." Hmph, a group of bandits also dared to be arrogant in Anhui County, and they were impatient. ”

Lu Xun stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling a big headache.

He came to persuade Lu Kang to pay attention to the bandits and deal with them carefully, but he didn't want to contribute to Lu Kang's personal encirclement and suppression.

Lu Xun thought about it carefully, and then asked, "Congzu, do you know where the bandits are hiding?" If you don't even know the location of the encirclement and suppression, how can you suppress the bandits? ”

Lu Kang suddenly realized and said, "Yes, how did the old man forget about this." ”

Lu Kang stroked his beard under his chin, his eyes fell on Lu Xun's face, and asked with a smile: "You kid has been paying attention to this matter, you must know where the bandits are hiding, let's talk about it." ”

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had lifted a stone and hit his own foot.

wanted to make things difficult for Lu Kang, but he fell into Lu Kang's arms.

Lu Xun sighed and said: "In the mountain col fifteen miles south of Anhui County, that is the hiding place. ”

Lu Kang smiled: "Okay, it is worthy of my Lu family's Qianli horse." Although you kid doesn't like to read and learn, he is excellent and impeccable in all other aspects. ”

Lu Xun said modestly: "The ancestors have a good reputation. ”

"Bang! Bang! ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

Lu Kang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, the gentry of Anhui County have handed over their famous thorns, and they want to meet your lordship, and they are all waiting outside the mansion." Outside the study, the voice of the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion came.

Lu Kang instructed: "Tell them that Ben Taishou will gather the soldiers to suppress the bandits today and let them go back." ”

"Yes!"

The butler agreed, and turned to deliver the news.

Lu Kang's face was filled with a ruddy glow, and he was extremely excited. Twenty years ago, Lu Kang led the army to suppress bandits, and he was high-spirited and easily suppressed Huang Sui. Now Lu Kang is old, more than half a hundred years old, but his heart is not old, and he commanded loudly: "Lu Xun, after the old man leaves the city, you will temporarily take over the affairs of Anhui County, and don't make any mistakes." ”

Lu Xun reluctantly arched his hand and said: "Obey!" ”

Lu Kang laughed and strode out of the study.

……

Southwest of Anhui County, in the valley.

Shi A looked happy, ran to Wang Can, and said with a smile: "Lord, Guo Junshi's strategy has succeeded, it has really succeeded!" According to the news from the gentry of Anhui County, Lu Kang was already gathering soldiers and preparing to lead 3,000 soldiers to suppress bandits fifteen miles south of Anhui County. Lu Kang took the initiative to send troops and entered the trap. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "I knew that Lu Kang couldn't be idle." ”

Wang Can nodded and said: "Very good, as long as you have the trump card of Lu Kang, you can take Anhui County without spending a single soldier." Fengxiao, you have made a great contribution. ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "The lord has a reputation! ”

Wang Can put away his smile and ordered: "Order, order Wei Yan and Gan Ning to ambush 10,000 soldiers each in an ambush fifteen miles south of Anhui County, and when Lu Kang leads the soldiers to arrive, surround Lu Kang and be sure to capture him alive." Remember clearly, no matter who killed Lu Kang without permission, even if it was a manslaughter, wipe your neck by yourself and don't appear in front of me. ”

"No!"

Gan Ning and Wei Yan responded with their fists and immediately went to order troops.
