Chapter 274: Lu Kang dies of illness

Considering the future of the Zhou family, Zhou Shang did not unexpectedly choose to join the Soviet army, and Zhou Yu was very happy about Zhou Shang's understanding of current affairs, and finally avoided the tragedy of the same clan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, to persuade Lu Kang to surrender the city, Zhou Shang was not optimistic, so he told Zhou Yu to let Sun Ce lead his troops to ambush outside the city, and the two sides raised fires as a signal, opened the city gate in the middle of the night, and let Sun Ce enter the city.

Zhou Yu quickly passed the good news to Sun Ce, who immediately took the wolf cavalry and 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers and ambushed them in a valley ten miles outside Shuxian County, and then passed the news to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu saw that the time was ripe, and immediately said to Zhou Shang: "Uncle, Bo Fu has already led 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to ambush in the valley ten miles outside the city, how are the defenders in the city now?" Has my uncle taken control of the city gates? ”

Zhou Shang, as a county governor of Lujiang, also has some confidants, taking advantage of the time when Zhou Yu contacted Sun Ce, he was not idle, and actively recruited the previously skilled henchmen and generals, and soon bought several low-level officers, and among these officers, some of them were responsible for guarding the city gate.

"Gong Jin doesn't need to worry, although there are 20,000 defenders in the city, but they are stationed at four gates, at present I have recruited a few officers, they have two thousand soldiers and horses in their hands, responsible for guarding the south gate, I intend to let Bo Fu enter the city from the south gate, I will have a banquet for Lu Envoy Jun and all the generals that night, and when the time comes, the thief and the king can be captured."

"Okay, uncle's clever plan, but in this way, my uncle's reputation is going to suffer." Zhou Yu's words are sincere, whether it is to deceive generals from all walks of life or Lu Kang, for Zhou Shang, his reputation will be bad in the future.

Zhou Shang also said with some embarrassment: "Those who become big things are not informal, since they have promised to be loyal to the lord, this kind of reputation is just a trivial matter, everything I do is for the future of our Zhou family, if someone scolds me, let him scold it, Gong Jin, in the future, our Lujiang Zhou family will rely on you." ”

"Uncle rest assured, the little nephew will definitely live up to his uncle's expectations!"

The next day, in the name of his birthday, Zhou Shang invited Lu Kang and county officials to the mansion for a banquet.

Not only Lu Kang, but most of the officials in the city have gone, although Sun Ce's attack on Shu County is imminent, but there is no military situation recently, so the generals have also come to the Zhou Mansion for a banquet.

In order to delay time, Zhou Shang deliberately made the banquet time late, and the banquet was a good Su wine, and everyone drank it well.

At the same time, Zhou Yu came to the south gate with Zhou Shang's warrant, and the officers guarding the south gate had already been co-opted by Zhou Shang.

It didn't take long for torches to be raised outside the city, and Zhou Yu immediately asked the soldiers defending the city to put down the drawbridge and open the city gate, and Sun Ce took two thousand wolves to ride the first horse on the drawbridge and enter the city.

Xu Sheng led 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers to follow, and after entering the city, Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce and immediately said: "Bo Fu, at this time, Lu Kang and the officials in the city are all in the Zhou Mansion for a banquet, and Bo Fu can lead the troops to capture it." ”

"Thanks to Gong Jin's plan this time, Gong Jin, you and I will go to the Zhou Mansion to get people, and when the officials in the city are captured, Shu County will be able to pass on the decision."

"Just Eberfürgy!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led the troops to surround the Zhou Mansion, and got a report from the housekeeper, which inevitably caused a scuffle, endangering himself, Zhou Shang said: "A certain is not strong enough to drink, go out to breathe the wind, you drink slowly." ”

"Zhou Juncheng, please!"

Zhou Shang left the banquet and went out, just in time to see Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu saw his uncle leave the banquet hall, and immediately led troops to surround the banquet hall.

At this time, even a fool knows that this is a Hongmen banquet, Lu Kang is nearly seventy years old, and when he saw Zhou Yu, he was angry and shouted: "Zhou Yu, call your uncle to come out to see me!" ”

Zhou Shang didn't have the face to come to see Lu Kang, and Zhou Yu wouldn't be so cruel, and said to the officials present: "Everyone, Shu County has been occupied by Sun Ce's army, you still honestly hand over the customs defense seal letter and cooperate with us, so as not to hurt the innocent." ”

Hearing that the thieves had entered the city, Lu Kang didn't come up in one breath, and vomited blood directly: "Ahhhh ”

When Lu Kang fell, the rest of the officials lost their backbone and surrendered one after another, Zhou Yu took the official seal and wrote a document in Lu Kang's name to make all the officers and soldiers in the city surrender.

The next thing came naturally, Xu Sheng took Zhou Yu's documents to collect the officers and soldiers in the city, because the dragons had no leader, so they did not encounter much resistance in the process of surrendering, even if there were a few people who did not know the current affairs, they were quickly handled by Xu Sheng.

In the original history, Sun Ce and Lu Kang confronted each other in Shu County for two years, and finally the city was broken, and now with Zhou Shang's secret help, Sun Ce captured Lujiang County with almost no effort.

Sun Ce immediately reorganized the army in Shu County, disorganized it, and all the low-level officers were selected from the Qingzhou soldiers, and those officers who originally belonged to Lu Kang, Sun Ce used them as appropriate, and most of them were sent away by him, and where these people like to go has nothing to do with the overall situation.

After the reorganization was completed, Sun Ce took Lu Kang's official letter and quickly recovered the remaining counties, and the entire territory of Lujiang had fallen into Sun Ce's hands except for the place occupied by Yuan Shu.

The news of Sun Ce's occupation of Lujiang also reached Yuan Shu's ears, Yuan Shu never expected Sun Ce to defeat Lu Kang so quickly, but he also happened to send someone to urge the matter of the jade seal.

Sun Ce took the opportunity to ask Yuan Shu for food, grass and ordnance, Yuan Shu didn't want to strengthen Sun Ce, so he dragged it and didn't give it, Sun Ce was not in a hurry, now that Zhou Yu has returned to Guangling, he only needs to send the remaining 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers, Sun Ce will be invincible, and he will not be afraid of Yuan Shu at that time.

Two months later, Zhou Yu transported all the remaining 30,000 reinforcements to Lujiang, and the four generals Xu Sheng, Lü Dai, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai all arrived in Shu County.

Yuan Shu also knew that Sun Ce was getting fuller, and for his jade seal, he had to allocate 50,000 people to Sun Ce for half a year's grain and grass ordnance, Sun Ce was dissatisfied with this, and took the opportunity to propose to Yuan Shu that if he gave him 500,000 loads of grain and grass, the jade seal could be presented with both hands.

After all, Yuan Shu did not resist the temptation of the jade seal, agreed to Sun Ce's request, and sent people to send 500,000 grains and grass one after another, and this time Sun Ce did not break his promise, and sent Xu Sheng to send the jade seal to Shouchun.

After Yuan Shu got the jade seal, he was overjoyed, and his good impression of Sun Ce was greatly increased, thinking that he was a person who believed in his word, and this happiness not only warmly entertained Xu Sheng and his party, but also sent Sun Ce two thousand pairs of bows and arrows. With 100,000 arrows, Yuan Shu had already regarded Sun Ce as his own subordinate and his southern barrier.

After Yuan Shu got the jade seal, his mind changed a little, and he was already planning to make some things of the Divine Dao, and after Sun Ce's strength increased greatly, he was thinking about whether to take Jiujiang in the east, or cross the river to attack Danyang County, and he was puzzled that it was Yuzhang County.
