Lu Kang has a high reputation among the people of Lujiang, although he has passed away, but many people still miss the days when Lu Kang was too guarded, when Lujiang was far away from the war in the Central Plains, the people were rich, and the people lived a solid life, which can be said to be a paradise.

But after Lu Kang's death, the life of the people of Lujiang was not as good as before, especially after Yuan Shu's army occupied Shucheng, the tax and conscription were twice as much as when Lu Kang was in the past.

Shucheng's wealthy families were also exploited by Yuan Shu's officials, today it is to build the city wall, donate food and materials, and tomorrow is to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne, calling on the families to donate continuously, these families are also very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu.

But compared to ordinary people, these families are good, after all, after donating so much money and food, the children of their clan also got an official and a half position, but now Yuan Shu's defeat has been decided, and the official position of Yuan Shu's reward is not worth much, these families are all smart people and know how to ensure that the family can survive this catastrophe, so Lu Xun almost didn't have much effort to persuade these Shucheng families to work.

The undercurrent in the city is turbulent, and Chen Lan's life is not easy, especially the scouts he sent out to ask for help have not come back, which has cast another shadow on his heart, Le has already been captured, and it is conceivable that Lei Shu will not be able to support him, and he can only rely on himself to contain Shucheng.

Chen Lan ordered the clans in the city to hand over their private soldiers and assist the officials and soldiers in harvesting, which finally stimulated the sensitive nerves of the family, what is a private soldier? This is their private property, and now Chen Lan is going to let them hand over their private soldiers with a light word, how is it possible?

Even Chen Lan himself has doubts about this, in his mind, these families will always support some private soldiers, after all, Shucheng is still in his hands at the moment, but what makes him overjoyed is that this time the family did not hesitate, and they all contributed generously, your family will pay 100, my family will pay 200, and his family will pay 300, and finally a total of nearly 5,000 private soldiers will be gathered to assist Chen Lan in defending the city.

With these 5,000 private soldiers joining the defense of the city, Chen Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, to defend the four gates, the 30,000 troops under his command seem to be a lot, but in fact, there are only a few scattered, not to mention that these troops still take turns to patrol, so that the defenders of each city gate are only 3,000 people.

Lu Xun is the representative elected by these families, and these 5,000 private soldiers are also commanded by Lu Xun, Chen Lan did not despise Lu Xun because of his young age, especially after Lu Xun gave him two suggestions, he valued Lu Xun more and more.

Chen Lan did not doubt Lu Xun's motives, you must know that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu outside the city have an enmity with Lu Xun, and it is precisely because of this that Chen Lan is very relieved of Lu Xun and often takes him with him.

"Bo Yan, in your opinion, now that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are besieging Shucheng, will General Lei be able to send reinforcements to rescue Shucheng?" There have been several scouts sent to ask for help, but there has been no news, which makes Chen Lan a little panicked, if it is really surrounded like this, I am afraid that the city will run out of food in half a month.

"General Lei is only afraid that he will not be able to send reinforcements to rescue Shucheng, since Sun Ce has conquered Linhu, he will inevitably leave heavy troops to guard against General Lei, not to mention that His Majesty has lost 200,000 troops one after another, and it is difficult for the Shouchun Imperial City to send troops to resist Su Chen in Xiapi, I am afraid that Your Majesty will soon recall the Lei Jiang Army back to the Imperial City to guard."

Hearing Lu Xun's analysis, Chen Lan sighed and said: "Hey, although I know that what you said is true, but General Ben is still a little unacceptable, I want to follow His Majesty to crusade against Dong Zhuo, how majestic he was, but I didn't expect that now we are surrounded by Sun Ce, a yellow-haired boy, in the city, and even a scout can't break out. ”

"Why didn't the general take the initiative?" Lu Xun's words surprised Chen Lan, but he didn't wait for the other party to ask, he explained: "The general's 30,000 soldiers are all battle-hardened troops, and the morale is still there at this time, if the general fights to the death, there is still a glimmer of life, if our army is trapped in Shucheng, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be broken by Sun Ce, not to mention that our army has persecuted the families in the city one after another, it is difficult to ensure that these people are not behind the generals to make trouble, under internal and external troubles, once the food is cut out, that is the real crisis." ”

"Oh?" Chen Lan savored Lu Xun's words, but there was some truth, and asked: "Bo Yan is also from the family, how can he not protect the interests of the family?" ”

Lu Xun knew that the other party would ask this, and replied impassionedly: "Although I am a member of the family, I can know the truth of loyalty to the king, eat the king's luck, and share the worries of the king. ”

"Bo Yan's loyalty and bravery, this general already knows, you just said that our army took the initiative to attack, I don't know what Bo Yan's good strategy is?"

"So that the general will know that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are besieging Shucheng, and they have been fighting for several days, presumably there is not much food left in the army, if the general sends a surprise soldier to attack the enemy camp at night and burn the enemy's grain and grass, once the food is cut off, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu retreat without a fight, and the siege of Shucheng will be relieved." Lu Xun talked eloquently and behaved in his chest.

As soon as Chen Lan heard it, Lu Xun's plan may work, he has Shucheng as the background, and he is still facing the crisis of running out of food, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce came from afar, and they must not have brought much grain and grass, if they burn the grain and grass of the enemy army, then the siege of Shucheng will not be solved?

"Okay, according to Bo Yan's plan, tonight the general will personally lead the troops to attack the enemy camp at night, but in this way, the city needs Bo Yan's support, and later I will appoint Bo Yan as the chief secretary of our army, when I am not in the city, there is anything in the army Bo Yan can decide alone."

"Thank you for the general's trust, Lu Xun will definitely live up to the general's expectations."

Chen Lan immediately selected five thousand elites in the army to prepare to attack the camp tonight, Lu Xun had to pass these arrangements out of the city as soon as possible, and simply had the help of the family in the city, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce soon learned of Lu Xun's arrangements.

After reading the letter written by Lu Xun, Zhou Yu said excitedly: "Bo Fu, the city is broken tonight, Bo Yan wrote that Chen Lan will attack our army at night tonight, I mean that our soldiers will be divided into two ways, Chen Lan is an extraordinary martial artist, and he can't be defeated if he is not Bo Fu, so the matter of guarding the camp will be handed over to Bo Fu, I will not go to a pocket array, just wait for Chen Lan to come in." ”

"As for me, I will lead the army into the city and control Chen Lan's army in the city as soon as possible, fortunately, Bo Yan has now gained Chen Lan's trust, and with the help of the family in the city, there will not be much war on my side."

When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately agreed to Zhou Yu's proposal, and the troops were divided into two routes, Sun Ce stayed to deal with Chen Lan, and Zhou Yu led Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai into the city under Lu Xun's response.
