In the second year of Chengjing, that is, the fifth year of Jianjia of the Jiangzuo Imperial Court, a lot of things really happened.

First of all, Wang Dun's Jingzhou Dazhi, after clearing a group of bandits out of the Jingzhou boundary, began to expand the army, and then Shi Le's soldiers and horses went south to Xuzhou, and knocked down the territory of Jiangbei in one breath, which is not counted, turned his face Qingzhou Cao Wei led the army south, and finally failed one after another, a Qingzhou warlord, lost his life at the border of Xuzhou.

Subsequently, it took Shile half a year to slowly clean up the resistance forces in Qingzhou and bring this large state under his rule.

At this point, this Shile became the most powerful force in the north except for the Xuanjia army, and its territory spanned Jizhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

In the past, no matter which Han Dynasty, they focused on the development of these states, and now there is a lot of damage because of natural and man-made disasters, but the foundation is still there, strictly speaking, it is much better than having a secluded place.

Therefore, Shi Le's acceptance of Qingzhou, all the surrounding forces became vigilant, especially the Jiangzuo court, which was like a great enemy, and even agreed to some excessive requirements for Wang Dun, that is, to let him defend in Jingzhou and go north to Sizhou at the right time.

However, just when Jiang Zuo felt that a catastrophe was coming, there was finally good news that a conflict broke out between Na Shile and his nephew Shi Hu, and there were signs of a war between the two sides.

Soon after, Shi Le was actually attacked by someone in Yecheng, so he was seriously injured, it is said that he did not know whether he was alive or dead, during the recuperation period, the east side of Shi's territory made waves again, and Shi Hu actually directly pulled up a flag on the side of the Qing monarch, saying that there was a traitor Nie Daoren, who was playing right and wrong around Shi Le all day long, and wanted to destroy it, so he led the army to kill Yecheng.

At the most critical time, Shi Le's eldest son Shi Xing, who was only ten years old, came forward to unite people's hearts and call on soldiers and horses from all over the country to defend Yecheng.

Under such circumstances, all the surrounding forces were wondering if they could find some advantage in the Shi clan's territory to take advantage of.

Among them, the most enthusiastic is the Jiangzuo court, which has just lost Xuzhou not long ago.

At the beginning, Xuzhou did not defend because of various reasons to restrain each other, but after the incident, there were many contradictions erupted, and some people wanted to seize the opportunity to fight hard, and the best result was to get a political advantage.

Among them, the scholars from the north and the south are the most enthusiastic, but in the Jiangzuo court, now the forces of all parties are tugging with each other, the situation is very complicated, and it is difficult for all parties to achieve their wishes under the stalemate between them, and in this case, they can only turn to the outside for help.

So an envoy led by the Lu family appeared, and the envoy group went north by boat, and after docking at the coast of Youzhou, it arrived in Jixian County non-stop.

It's just that it is the period of reorganization of the Youzhou Governor's Office, and Chen Zhi is not in Jixian County, but went to the west to inspect Bingzhou, and the envoy group has to wait for the time being.

Lu Qian, the envoy of the envoy group, did not mean to stop because of this, he deeply realized that at present, Youzhou is turning to accumulation and construction, and it is not easy to get them to agree to help, even if it is just verbal support, so he plans to fight up and down.

It just so happened that their Lu family also had a layout in Youzhou, and one of the sons of the clan was still in the General's Mansion, and now it should be called the Governor's Mansion, so they took the initiative to contact him.

Later, through this son, he contacted other officials of the Governor's Mansion and set a time to meet.

The meeting place is a well-known tea shop in the city.

"Ninth Uncle," Lu Jian waited inside early, and when he saw Lu Qian coming, he got up to greet him, and then introduced him to a few people around him, "This is Zhang Jingsheng, this is Wang Gou, the two are friends of their nephews, and their clan is now also in Jiangzuo." ”

Lu Qian's heart moved, looking at Wang Gou, he couldn't help but have thoughts, but he didn't make a statement, and then sat down.

After everyone talked about the world, the south and the north, the subset of the scriptures and history, and the poems and songs, it was also after three rounds of drinking, and the topic finally shifted to the current affairs, and the most important thing is, of course, the Jizhou matter.

"It's just that since this Shi Xing has been pushed out, I think that Shi Le is really seriously injured and difficult to do, and it is even difficult to be a director, so I will let a half-old child come forward to preside over the situation." Wang Gou began to discuss.

Ordinary officials like Zhang Jingsheng and Wang Gou did not have inside information such as the secret spy department, but only relied on speculation and a few words leaked from some other channels to make a general judgment.

Recently, because of the reorganization of the General's Mansion and the transformation to the Governor's Office, many of the original officials have been promoted in their official positions, and they are busy every day just for a promotion quota, which can be described as hard, so that they don't pay much attention to the changes in the outside world.

It is really that the Jizhou Shi clan is too close to Youzhou, so they will be noticed, but when they talk about Shile, they don't see any awe of these.

This made Lu Qian sigh with emotion in his heart, you must know that they Jiangzuo, now mentioning the name of Shile, it cannot be said that they are frightened, but most people are still worried, that is, they are worried that this self-proclaimed King of Zhao, if there is really no time, then once Shi Hu's rebellion is quelled, the next step will definitely be to go south to Jiangzuo, then there will be no peaceful days.

But listening to the conversation of the young officials in Youzhou, not only is there any fear, but there is also a condescending meaning, even a hero like Shi Le, he comments at will.

Especially when I heard Wang Gou's sentence, I was even more emotional-

"Even if he Shile is dead, the nephews below will fight with his son, and he will definitely not dare to have the idea of plotting Youzhou, but what should we do then? Is it to support one side, or to divide and suppress, or simply take this opportunity to take Jizhou directly? ”

However, Lu Jian saw that this question was getting farther and farther away, coughed, then closed the topic, and then said bluntly: "My uncle came here this time, in fact, it is for this matter, that Shile invaded Xuzhou before, and now there is internal turmoil, and the imperial court wants to take this opportunity to take Xuzhou back, and this is also for the sake of the governor......"

Since he is a member of the Lu family, these things are inevitable, but Zhang Jingsheng listened to it, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, after all, when Shile attacked, you didn't move, and you let the land out in vain, and now you want to grab it back, and listening to this meaning, there are not many soldiers and horses available, and if you want to rely on the support of the Xuanjia Army, it is not right to think about it.
