After Sun Ce occupied Anhui County, Su Chen quickly got the news and immediately asked Zhou Yu to transport the 40,000 troops to Anhui County in batches. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang soon learned the news of the fall of Anhui County, he hurriedly sent reinforcements to help Anhui County, the reinforcements arrived outside the city, and were ambushed by Sun Ce, leaving less than one percent of the remnants of the defeated generals and returning in embarrassment.

Lu Kang also knew that after Sun Ce gained a firm foothold in Anhui County, he would soon go up the river and use troops against Shu County, so he didn't care about the loss of Anhui County, but mobilized soldiers and horses from the surrounding counties to defend Shu County with all his might.

Before the arrival of reinforcements, Sun Ce would not act rashly, after attacking Anhui County, he knew that this battle was a fluke, Lu Kang's official reputation in Lujiang was very good, and he was deeply supported by the people, if it was not for the advantage of the cavalry, he was caught off guard, if it was a strong attack, only the 30,000 troops under the command of Yuan Shu might not be able to easily take Anhui County.

Liu County Commander of Anhui County is a good official, after Sun Ce persuaded him, he ordered him to make a list to calm the people, stabilize the situation in the city, and then began to census the population and pay taxes, for a long time, this is his base camp, so he must be aware of it.

Anhui County has a population of 100,000 and 3,000 county soldiers, because it is close to the Yangtze River, so the fertile fields are relatively fertile, and the people can still be hungry.

Lu Kang was loyal to the Han family, did not belong to the forces of any princes, and only obeyed the dispatch of the imperial court.

Zhou Yu's fleet could only transport 10,000 soldiers and some grain and grass at a time, and by the time Zhou Yu went down the river from Guangling and arrived in Anhui County, it was already half a month later.

Sun Ce was very happy about Zhou Yu's arrival, because he wanted to keep it secret, so Sun Ce only took his own soldiers to the riverside to pick up Zhou Yu, and the two said goodbye, sighing.

Zhou Yu took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "Bo Fu, it was rumored before that you secretly released Cao Ang and turned your back on the lord, I didn't believe anything, and then the lord asked me to go south to transport troops and grain, and I knew that you were a chess piece arranged by the lord in Yangzhou, and Bo Fu was so wronged for the great cause of the lord." ”

Sun Ce replied disapprerovingly: "Gong Jin has said it, the lord treats me like a mountain, now that the lord has a life, let alone being wronged, even if it is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he will not give up." ”

"Good, Bo Fu Yonglie!" Zhou Yu didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and instead said: "Bofu is now stationed in Anhui County, can there be a strategy to capture the Lujiang River?" ”

Without waiting for Sun Ce to answer, Zhou Yu said first: "My uncle Zhou Shangnai is a Lujiang County Cheng, I have been under Lu Kang in the past, and I know a little about Lu Kang, this is a good official who is dedicated to the people, rather than a broken jade, not a complete tile, Bo Fu wants to take Shu County, I am afraid that it will not be easy." ”

Sun Ce was also at a loss for this, and said when he heard the words: "Don't hide it from Gong Jin, what I thought before was to wait for Gong Jin's vanguard 10,000 sergeants to arrive, and then lead the troops to besiege Shu County. ”

"I have a solution, maybe I can give it a try."

"What's the solution?"

Zhou Yu said eloquently: "The war is together, after all, it is the people of Li who suffer, the lord is determined to win Yangzhou, my uncle is now in Shu County, I want to go into the city to see him, if I can persuade my uncle to surrender to the lord, the matter will be half, and then find a way for my uncle to guard Lu Kang too much, but the latter half is not easy." ”

"Gong Jin is really a clever plan!" When Sun Ce heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Even if we can't convince Lu Kang, if Uncle Gongjin is willing to submit to the lord, we only need to come to the inside and outside, so that we can open the city gate and avoid a sword battle." ”

"Hey, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy, Lu Yuanjun takes very good care of my Zhou family, except for the official relationship, my uncle and Lu Yuanjun also have a very good personal relationship, I don't dare to guarantee that I can convince my uncle, everything can only be done to the best of God, let it be the fate of God."

"So I'll leave it to you."

The 10,000 vanguard troops brought by Zhou Yu, the leading general is Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng has been taking refuge in Su Chen for more than ten years, he is loyal, and his ability to lead troops is very outstanding.

Zhou Yu went to Shu County alone to meet Zhou Shang, Zhou Shang had long known that his nephew was deeply used under the command of Yan Hou, for the Zhou family, this is really a happy thing, after all, Yan Hou is like today's first-class princes, Zhou Yu is already a Qingzhou Navy General at a young age, which is really commendable.

When Zhou Shang heard the housekeeper say that Zhou Yu asked to see him alone, Zhou Shang threw down the official document and immediately rushed back to the mansion, and just saw Zhou Yu, he asked, "Gong Jin, why did you appear in Shu County?" Aren't you an official under Yan Hou? ”

"Uncle, this time the little nephew was ordered by the lord to lead the sailor south to help Bofu in Anhui County, presumably my uncle guessed the purpose of my coming, right?" For Zhou Shang, Zhou Yu did not hide it, and directly said his intentions.

"Are you saying that Sun Ce is a pawn sent by Yanhou to capture Yangzhou?" Zhou Shang was shocked and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that everyone in the world was deceived by Yan Hou, so why are you here?" Could it be that you are trying to persuade me to surrender? ”

"Exactly! Don't hide it from his uncle, Yan Hou is determined to win Yangzhou, the little nephew has led a large army from the Yangtze River to support Bofu, and he will come to the city soon, Lu Zhijun is a good official, but in the face of the general trend, he can't stop this surging torrent, it will inevitably bleed and drift, and the people will suffer, so the nephew wants to persuade his uncle to surrender to the lord. ”

"This..."Zhou Shang didn't refuse, for him, it must be a lot of benefits to join a great prince like Su Chen, not to mention that Zhou Yu is still heavily used under the other party, but Lu Kang trusts him very much, and it is really a little embarrassing for him to betray Lu Kang at this time.

Zhou Yu knew his uncle's temperament, and when he saw him hesitating, he immediately said: "Uncle doesn't have to be embarrassed about this, Lu Yuanjun is nearly seventy years old, to be honest, he is no longer suitable to continue to serve as the Taishou of Lujiang, if he can, I hope that my uncle can persuade him to resign and go into hiding, so that it can be regarded as his friendship for our Zhou family." ”

"Hey, Gongjin, you don't know, so that Jun is loyal to the court, never cares about personal gains and losses, I'm afraid to persuade him, but it's not so easy."

Zhou Yu also knew that what the other party said was the truth, but Lu Jiang had to take it, so he asked further: "Uncle, I don't know what you think?" ”
