Lu Kang is a very interesting person, on the one hand, he firmly believes in his identity as 'Lujiang Taishou' and refuses anyone's solicitation.

At the same time, because of the identity of 'Lujiang Taishou', as long as Liu Xuan, the assassin appointed by the imperial court, gives an order, then he will abide by it. To say that he is two-faced, he refused Li Ming's invitation to a banquet several times, completely rejecting people.

"On the Lu family's side, just have Lu Jun as an intermediary to befriend us, and Lu Kang doesn't need to be close to us at all. Lu Taishou intends to earn the reputation of a 'loyal monarch', so why should we force it? Guo Jia saw through what Lu Kang was asking for, and said with a smile.

Instead of icing on the cake, it is better to take the opportunity to earn a good name, which will be good for him and for his descendants. In the final analysis, fame is also a resource in these years, and Lu Kang naturally has no reason to let it go.

Liu Miao arrived, seeing that he was being 'guarded' by so many personal guards, Lu Kang could guess with his toes that this trusted assassin had been set aside by Li Ming. Not only that, but I'm afraid that Danyang County has now fallen into Li Ming's hands.

Later, when I asked, I got affirmation, and I didn't expect that Xun Biao, the original chief bookkeeper of Huiji County, actually jumped directly to the position of Taishou. At the same time, the original county order of Zhuji County, and now the county order of Shanyin County, Xun Chen, has become the new master of Huiji County; As for Xun Di, he became the governor of Luling County.

It is worthy of being the first family to marry Li Ming, and the influence of the Xun family in Jiangdong has begun to have a tendency to catch up. Because of the relationship between the Xun family and the Cai family, the Gu family is also very close to Li Ming. The Lu family finally thought about it, and then decided to marry, but the object was not the daughter of the Lu family, Li Ming had already refused the marriage, and this time it was the Qiao sisters who were just starting to show their reputation in Yangzhou.

"Note?" When talking about how to deal with Yuan Shu, Guo Jia proposed to note Yuan Shu, and Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it.

"The history of the imperial court assassination is on our side, and Yuan Shu's self-appointed Yangzhou pastor does not have legal rationality. can officially give a note on this, and order the other party to leave Jiujiang County and return to Yuzhou! Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Yuan Shu will definitely not agree!" Li Ming didn't need to think about it, he had already guessed Yuan Shu's attitude.

It doesn't matter whether the other party will agree or not, the key is his arrogant attitude, which will make him lose a lot of fame! The key is that we crusade in Beishan, and we will have the reputation of righteousness! Even, we can secretly send a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to sneak attack Nanyang County behind his back, so that Yuan Shu can't care about each other! Guo Jia said with a smile.

"And it's not just Yuan Shu whose reputation has been hit, but I'm afraid that Yuan Shao's side will not be comfortable either. Recently, Yuan Shao gathered troops and horses in Huguan in the name of encircling and suppressing the Black Mountain bandits, apparently intending to invade and merge the state. With Yuan Shu's matter, he will not be able to attack and merge the state for at least a few years. Xi Zhicai added.

Since it was a multiplicity, of course Li Ming didn't mind, so he sent someone to send a note to Yuan Shu in the name of Liu Xuan. At the same time, he sent a letter to Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, hoping that he could attack Nanyang.

It doesn't matter if you go or not, Yuan Shu's strength, Li Ming has not yet put it in his eyes, even if it is two or three times that of him, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Three days later, Yuan Shu received the note, but he handed it to his subordinates with disdain, then looked at Yan Xiang and asked, "Yan Xiang, you are in charge of external intelligence, how is the situation in Lujiang County recently?" ”

Yan Xiang got up and replied with his hand: "Back to my lord, the defenders of Lujiang have been frequently mobilized recently, and about 100,000 troops have begun to replenish them. If the information is correct, it should be Wang Yu of Wu County and Li Ming of Huiji County to come to support. The exact number of people they brought with them needs to be further checked. ”

"Wang Yu has already been put under Li Ming's command, there is no doubt about this, just say that Li Ming led people north to support!" Yuan Shu had already seen the relationship between Wang Yu and Li Ming, "I just didn't expect that the dignified Taiyuan Wang family's sister-in-law would actually take refuge in an unidentified commoner!" ”

Yan Xiang nodded and continued to report: "Among the 100,000 troops, there are more than 30,000 soldiers, the other 70,000 are auxiliary soldiers, and among the 30,000 soldiers, there are 10,000 cavalry, which are commanded by Yan Xing and Xu Huang respectively. There were about 20,000 infantry, not to mention the guards, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers, as well as 3,000 foot soldiers in rattan armor, and 2,000 strong archers. ”

Yang Hong stood up and admonished when he heard this: "During the alliance to discuss Dong, the cavalry under Xu Huang was each equipped with three throwing spears, and each soldier had practiced "Fighting Battle", and also learned a throwing martial art. Thousands of people threw it together, and the power should not be underestimated. At the same time, Huang Zhong, the commander of Wu County, almost killed Lu Bu on the Tiger Prison Pass, and the strong archers under his command can each fire two stone strong bows, and the range is far beyond us, so you need to be careful! ”

"Li Ming is also brave and good at fighting, and Xu Huang's force is quite good. If you want to fight against Li Ming, it is best not to fight generals, but to shoot him at a distance with bows and arrows. Or send elite soldiers to besiege and kill them! Yan Xiang added.

"Ji Ling, are you sure to defeat Li Ming?" Yuan Shu looked at his confidant Ji Ling, among the generals under his command, Ji Ling's force was the highest.

"Subordinates are willing to fight!" Ji Ling clenched his fists, at that time, he was in charge of staying in Nanyang, and there was no way to meet Lu Bu in the Tiger Prison Pass, and he was quite sorry in his heart, but if he could defeat Li Ming, who drew with Lu Bu, or Huang Zhong, who almost killed Lu Bu, it would not be bad.

"I'm glad to have such momentum!" Yuan Shu nodded, but he assessed the gap between Ji Ling and Li Ming in his heart, and only felt that there was still a little gap, "But as a general, you shouldn't advocate personal bravery, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu in the past, was really invincible in the world, and they all ended up in Wujiang's self-slaughter, Li Ming personally went out to fight every time there was a war, and maybe one day he would end up like this." Fortunately, at least in this way, it will be much easier for us to capture Wu County and Huiji County! ”

"Subordinates are taught!" Ji Ling gave up, Yuan Shu said so much, but in fact, he was worried that he would not be as good as Li Ming. As a martial artist, he was a little injured, but fortunately he wasn't the kind of reckless man with a brain full of muscles.

"Let's talk about it!" Yuan Shu looked at everyone at this time, "How should we fight this battle?" ”

"Lord!" Yang Hong took the lead in getting up, "Our army has 50,000 soldiers, of which 20,000 soldiers under Chen Wen have been completely reorganized, and now they are stationed in Liyang. Li Ming and they did not launch an attack from the direction of Liyang, in fact, they were afraid that it would be easy to fall into passivity when crossing the river, so they would rather detour to the north of the Lujiang River, so Hefei is likely to become the main battlefield, but our 20,000 soldiers in Liyang may not be able to move! ”

"What's the best idea?" Yuan Shu was immediately interested.

"We will do our best to contain the main force of the other party in Hefei, and then quickly attack Danyang County with Liyang's troops! Li Ming is afraid that the route to the south will be blocked, and he will inevitably send troops back to help, at this time we can completely pursue the tail, then the enemy army can be broken! Yang Hong pointed to the map, and the focus was on the location of Liyang.

"It's a pity that Liu Miao followed Li Ming to Shu County, otherwise he would directly attack Wanling and kill Liu Xuan, I think who else would dare to compete with me for this Yangzhou pastor!" Yuan Shu looked at it carefully and agreed with Yang Hong's suggestion.

"All-arms war!" Yuan Shu thought about it carefully, "Let Li Ming know what it means to be high and thick!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals took orders. Being able to defeat or even kill a super fierce general is a supreme honor for a general.
