The reason why it dragged on for so long after Chen Heng's defeat was entirely because Liu Guang in the west fought desperately, until the battle reached the point where only a few dozen pro-soldiers around him were captured by exhaustion.

The military report was sent to Hefei, and Xu Chu and others did not expect that in addition to the victory of Guo Jia, Le Jin, and Zhang Fei, there was other good news - naturally it was the news brought by Lu Dai, a native of Hailing, before the war.

Only half a day later, Xu Shu and Guo Jia respectively sent another report, because Liu Guang took away Shouchun's main force, Xu Shu's troops took Jiancheng Shouchun without much effort, and the Shouchun County Order that was responsible for staying behind begged to surrender, Xu Shu temporarily took Xu Chu Yunzhi, and suggested that Xu Chu accept the surrender of Shouchun Ling, so as to hold Shouchun in his hands as soon as possible. On Guo Jia's side, he sent good news from Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to Dangtu and Yicheng counties.

Eight counties in the north of Jiujiang County, so far Cai, Dangtu, Yicheng, and Shouchun have been pocketed by Xu Chu, and Yinling is also at your fingertips, from the geographical analysis, the remaining three counties seem to have no other choice than surrender or abandon the city.

Jiujiang's strategy has been less than a month, and most of the county has been taken by Xu Chu, which makes Lu Jun, who came from afar, secretly frightened. He couldn't help but think, if Xu Chu was not dealing with Chen Wen, but his father Lu Kang, how long could Yuzhang County defend? In fact, Lu Jun's worries are unnecessary, first of all, the jurisdiction of Yuzhang County is very large, so big that Lujiang and Jiujiang are not comparable to each other, and the distance between some counties in the county is very far, which is equivalent to lengthening the supply line of the attacking party in disguise, and Lu Kang is also a famous minister in the late Han Dynasty, Yunwen Yunwu, far more than the old and spicy assassin Shi Chen Wen, Xu Chu raised the strength of the whole county to attack Yuzhang is bound to take off the skin, it is not cost-effective.

Of course, Lu Jun did not drill the horns of the horns on this issue, after learning about the battle situation in Jiujiang, he immediately wrote a letter back to Nanchang to report to his father, which talked about the reason why Xu Chu's battle was like a bamboo: one is that he thinks that the Lujiang soldiers are far superior to the Jiujiang soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness, and the other is to mention the many generals under Xu Chu, such as Le Jin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Li Tong, etc., Jiujiang obviously does not have enough understanding of the ability of these people, so that they repeatedly lose the generals when they are about to fight, resulting in low morale and collapse.

In fact, not only Lu Jun, but also Yangzhou, including neighboring Xuzhou, were surprised that the war between Yangzhou Prefecture and Lujiang County would present such a one-sided situation. After all, this is the first attack started by Xu Chu after the discussion of Dong, and it is normal for Jiujiang, who bears the brunt of the attack, to not be able to figure out the details of the enemy, but it is foreseeable that such as Zhou Xin and others, in the next possible battle, will definitely pay more attention to the generals in Xu Chu's camp.

In the camp of Xu Chu in Hefei, everyone sat in the tent to discuss matters.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Xu Chu's complexion today looks quite good, and in view of the results achieved by Xu Shu and Guo Jia, he discussed with everyone how to arrange follow-up matters.

There are two main issues to be dealt with: one is how to deal with prisoners of war, and the other is personnel changes.

The problem of prisoners of war is also easy, for ordinary soldiers, take the essence of it, remove the dross, and go home to farm, as it is. The issue of personnel changes is a little complicated, judging from the results achieved so far, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin belong to the newly invested generals, and the credit for the two counties is secondary, and the key is that the energy in the hands of the two is very worthy of attention. After discussion, it was decided to meet first before making a decision, so Xu Chu wrote a letter and sent it to Zhou and Jiang, inviting them to come to Hefei. In addition, Shouchun is an important town in Jiujiang, Xu Chu needs to let the right person sit here, convenient to supervise the military and government of the north of the county, think twice, and finally adopt Xi Zhong's suggestion, Li Tong is the governor of Jiujiang, Huaxin is the commander of Jiujiang County, and Chen Gong is promoted to the captain of the department, and the name is 'Hengjiang'.

In addition to these three people, in the future, they will continue to be assisted by scribes, such as the He family of Lixian County and the Xie family of Shanyin, who are dependent on the Xu Chu group, and the children of the Yangzhou scholar family are very good candidates, who can not only use their influence in the state, but also show their kindness, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After sending the watch seal to Chang'an, Xu Yi was very puzzled why Xu Chu had expressed the position of Duwei and Juncheng, but he left the position of Jiujiang Taishou not to be listed, because he asked Xi Zhong for advice in private.

Xu Yi's personality is very similar to Xi Zhong to a certain extent, so the two have been very familiar with each other, and for Xu Yi, who is younger than himself, Xi Zhong did not hesitate to share his opinions, and asked: "Why does Ji Cai think that the prince has to be the Taishou of Jiujiang?" ”

"Liu Yanzhou killed Qiao Mao, and the table made Wang Qiu the Taishou of Dongjun; Tao Xuzhou to the East China Sea, the following Pi phase long-term illness by the surface will be fused into the lower Pi phase. The princes all acted like this, why didn't the princes and princes show Xu, Guo, Le and other captains as Jiujiang Taishou? ”

"Ji Cai only knows the surface, but doesn't know the inside."

"Oh? Please give me advice. ”

"I don't dare to be a ......, Wang Qiu and Zhenrong are both reckless, and the two of them can be the magistrates of the county, to a greater extent, because when Liu Yanzhou and Tao Xuzhou raised troops, the two of them each took thousands of people to defect, and they had 'the merit of the dragon', which was not a good choice. Just look at Zhenrong, since he was the next Pi Xiang, he sat down to cut off the grain and grass in the three counties and filled his private pockets, what are the benefits to Tao Xuzhou? ”

Xu Yi pondered: "But if the prince doesn't hand over the post of Taishou to his henchmen, will he hand it over to the Yangzhou scholars?" ”

Xi Zhong sighed: "The prince and the soldiers are invincible, but they can fight the world immediately, but they can't rule the world immediately. Since the late prince entered Yangzhou, he has taken Zhou Yi, Xie Zhen, Yao Sheng and others as the humerus, and delivered all the large and small government affairs, which are all for those scholars and heroes in Yangzhou. ”

Xu Yi thought about it for a while, and said in a casual manner: "However, entrusting all the government affairs to the Yangzhou scholars can't completely reassure the prince, so he asked Xin Gezhi to come to Xuzhou tirelessly, and the subordinates thought that Lu Zijing, Zhang Zibu and the inferior people thought it was a check and balance......"

"The children can be taught." Xi Zhong said with a smile: "Now Ji Cai thinks that the prince will be the prince who is the Taishou of Jiujiang?" ”

"It's nothing more than Gu, Lu, Xie, and Zhou."

After speaking, Xu Yi looked at Xi Zhong, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

......

......

Standing on the city wall next to Xiaoyaojin, Lu Jun stared at the lake in the distance, and muttered: "It's finally here." ”

Meng Chong, Walking Boats, Fighting Ships, his brother Lu Jun's fleet is not unnerving, but when these ships docked without suspense, the generals and soldiers who got off the ship obviously had no fighting intentions.

Lu Jun felt that maybe the clan brother had given up the idea of driving Xu Chu away, or maybe his father had already sent someone to contact him? I don't know, but what is certain is that today's Xiaoyaojin will not stain the rivers with blood.

Even so, Lu Jun's safety must be insurmountable, he has no intention of paying attention to the battle situation here, remembering his father's words before leaving, it seems that at this time, it is time to mention it to Xu Chu.

War is for politics, this truth is understood by Xi Zhong, Xu Chu understands, and Lu Kang certainly understands it even more. Rather than a fish dying in the net, it is better for both parties to reach a consensus, hello and me.

Thinking that his mission was about to be completed, Lu Jun's heart was a little wider, he tightened his robe, avoided the cold wind, got off the city wall, and came to Xu Chu's military camp by car. I just arrived at the gate, but I saw a team of people and horses who met me unexpectedly, and it seemed that they had also come to visit Xu Chu.

The leader is Lu Jun's old acquaintance, Xu Gong, a native of Wu County.

Seeing Xu Gong and his party Shi Shiran enter the gate, Lu Jun secretly shook his head and ordered someone to stop driving. Lu Jun had no intention of fighting again, and the state capital also sent an envoy at this time, and it was self-evident what he wanted.

The successive defeats, like dominoes, gradually overthrew the psychological defense line of the state capital camp, and Chen Wen had already become ill, probably not long after, Yangzhou was really going to change.
