At the end of 193 AD, after hearing that Sun Ce sent troops to sweep Jiangdong, Lu An quickly sent troops to Yangzhou, and suddenly Yangzhou, which was temporarily in a comfortable state, immediately fell into boundless war, so that the princes of the world have paid attention to this side, and among them, the most unlucky role is Yangzhou Mu.

Yangzhou's current state pastor is Liu Xuan, the clan relative of the Han family, but this person has not been in office for a long time, coupled with the ability reasons, most of the counties under his command are still in a state of scattered sand, among which Wu County is still occupied by Yan Baihu, who was born as a bandit, it seems that the entire Yangzhou is completely a soft persimmon, and it is no wonder that Sun Ce will focus directly on this side.

At this time, Liu Miao can be said to be very busy, Sun Ce on this side is about to be unable to deal with it, and Lu An over there has begun to attack from Jingnan again, which can be described as a belly and back enemy, but with Liu Xuan's strength, he obviously can't take care of both sides, so he didn't pay any attention to Lu An's attack, but concentrated on dealing with Sun Ce in front of him, after all, from a geographical point of view, Sun Ce has already hit his door, and Lu An wants to come over, he has to go through Huiji County and Wu County, and one of these two counties is controlled by Wang Lang to prevent him from interfering, The other is entrenched by the thief Yan Baihu, although Liu Miao is very dissatisfied with these two people on weekdays, but at this time the two have become a barrier for him.

And without Liu Xuan's support, the army led by Gan Ning can be described as a succession of battles along the way, and soon several counties south of Yangzhou were completely breached, Yuzhang County, Linchuan County, Luling County, and Panyang County have all become Lu An's bag, and now in front of Lu An, there are only Huiji and Wu County left with heavy guards, and the others are either under the control of Liu Xiang himself, or they have become Sun Ce's belly.

"Xingba, hard work!" When he was about to enter the territory of Huiji County, Lu An's army finally joined Gan Ning, and when he saw Gan Ning, who had not been seen for almost a year, Lu An patted him on the shoulder very happily.

"Lord!" Gan Ning is obviously also very excited, since he was appointed by Lu An as the Taishou of Changsha, although it can be said that he has been greatly reused, but after all, it is equivalent to being released, and when he saw Lu An himself at this time, he immediately had a feeling of milk swallow returning to the nest.

"How? How is it like to be a Taishou in Changsha for more than half a year? The two haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally there are a lot of topics, and Lu An asked with a smile about Gan Ning's situation in Changsha.

"Huh! There are too many messy things, if it weren't for Mr. Jia's help, I really couldn't hold on! Gan Ning scratched his head and said with a smile. To be honest, he was undoubtedly excited in the first month of being named Changsha Taishou by Lu An, but after the freshness passed, Gan Ning suddenly found that the position of Taishou was not so easy to do, not to mention anything else, dealing with all kinds of livelihood affairs in the county passed by a bunch of small officials every day made him upset, if it weren't for Lu An sending Jia Xu to him in the second month, I am afraid that Gan Ning would have to collapse.

"Haha, it's hard for you, when the war on the Jiangdong side is over, I won't make you a Taishou, how about changing the title of general?" Lu An laughed. As a traverser, he has a general understanding of the character and talent of these civil and military officers under his command, for example, Guo Jia is unsurpassed in military strategy, but if he is allowed to handle government affairs, I am afraid that it is not much better than an ordinary civil official, this is the so-called serious partiality, and Jia Xu is also good at military strategy, but he is much better than Guo Jia in the handling of government affairs, as for Gan Ning and Wei Yan, they are both generals, and they can be the main generals, but it is too reluctant to let them lead a county alone, Therefore, Lu An sent Jia Xu and Pan Jun respectively to help them.

"Is this true?" Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and then seemed to think of something, and said again and again: "But、、、? ”

"Don't worry, if we can take Jiangdong, I will contribute a gift to the imperial court, and I will show myself as the pastor of Yangzhou, and it will be no problem to give you a general when the performance comes." Lu An knew what Gan Ning was worried about, and said with a smile. If he is just a Taishou, then the biggest military attache who can be crowned is a Sima or something, but if he becomes a state minister, then he can really sit on one side justifiably, and it is no problem to give his subordinates a miscellaneous general.

"Thank you, lord!" Gan Ning let go of his heart and said with a happy face. As a martial artist, it is definitely happier to be a general than to be a taishou or something, although sometimes the two can be held at the same time, but Gan Ning obviously has no interest in those trivial government affairs.

"Don't be too happy, Jiangdong is still undecided, you have to defeat the current strong enemy first!" Lu An reminded him.

"Hehe, the lord has personally come out, which time is not to be captured!" Gan Ning smiled and patted the horse.

"Don't follow Guo Jia's example!" Lu An said angrily. But he glanced at Guo Jia, who was casual below, and blamed this guy for bringing the atmosphere of his subordinates to ruin, even an arrogant person like Gan Ning has now become a smuggler.

"Wenhe, I've really tired you these past few months!" Turning the topic, Lu An approached Jia Xu, who was very silent on the side, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Don't dare, the food king's Lu shares worries for the king, and serving the lord is a certain thing!" Jia Xu hurriedly surrendered his hand and said very cautiously.

"Hehe, it doesn't have to be this way under me." Lu An shook his head, this Jia Xu is always so cautious, making himself like a tiger, and Guo Jia's character can be described as two extremes.

"How's Sun Ce's progress?" After chatting with Gan Ning for a while, Lu An got down to business, summoned the little colonel who was recording intelligence next to him, and asked.

"Sun Ce has fought even better, and has captured and surrendered Tai Shici, the general under Liu Xuan's command, at this time, Liu Xuan only has Qu A and a few other cities left to support him!" The Colonel replied.

"It seems that Liu Miao can't turn over anymore, and it's only a matter of time before he is completely defeated!" Lu An frowned, his speed was fast enough, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to be slow, and at this time, he had almost finished eating the counties east of Yangzhou.

"Lord, we have to speed up, otherwise when Sun Ce completely attacks Liu Xuan, we are afraid that we will be in a dilemma if we fail to capture Huiji and Wu Jun!" Guo Jia stepped forward and spoke.

"And what do you have a good idea?" Lu An asked. This is a fact, Jiangdong, the richest and most populous are close to the Yangtze River side of the county, including the later six dynasties of the ancient capital of Nanjing, now these good places are all under the control of Sun Ce, and Wu County and Huiji are just stuck in the middle, is the best route for themselves to enter the Yangtze River side of Jiangdong, if you wait until Sun Ce has his hands free and he has not done it, I am afraid that he will have to fight him, first of all, he will be in a disadvantageous state.

"Now we can only continue to divide the troops, the lord will attack one county, and General Gan will continue to attack one county, so that the two-sided army will be quickly pacified, and then the army will converge and fight a decisive battle with Sun Ce!" Guo Jia shook the black feather fan in his hand and spoke.

Lu An nodded, and was about to make a decision, but suddenly remembered something in his heart, glanced at Jia Xu again, and asked, "Does Wenhe have anything to add?" ”

"Lord Qi, what Mr. Fengxiao said is extremely subtle, and there is no objection to it!" Jia Xu was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu An to ask him suddenly, but then he said with some emotion. Guo Jia's intelligence he knew, and Lu An knew that Guo Jia's idea at this time could be said to be very reasonable, but Lu An still asked him deliberately, this is definitely not that Lu An is not satisfied with Guo Jia's idea, but deliberately gives him Jia Wenhe to establish some prestige in the army, so that others know that he Jia Wenhe is also a trusted advisor, with Lu An's approach this time, his prestige among the civil and military officials under Lu An will be much higher.

"Hehe, since Mr. Jia has no opinion, then act according to this plan!" Lu An smiled, he really wanted to add some prestige to Jia Xu, after all, Guo Jia's reputation under his command has reached its peak, everyone knows that Guo Jia is his most trusted right-hand man, but in addition, Lu An can't let himself or his civil and military officials form a dependence, after all, with the escalation of the war in the future, it is very likely that there will be two-line battles or even three-line operations, and Guo Jia alone is obviously unable to survive, at this time, it is necessary to train the second and third military divisions, And under his command, who else would be more suitable than Jia Xu, I believe that Guo Jia and Jia Xu both understand this, so they all know each other.

"Gan Ning!" made a good decision, and Lu An immediately snorted.

"The last general!"

"I will assign Shamoke to you as a deputy general, Mr. Jia Xu is still your military advisor, and another 10,000 elite soldiers will be assigned to you, plus the 20,000 soldiers you own, a total of 30,000 elite soldiers, you go and help me take Wu County, remember, the speed must be fast!" Lu An commanded. When he came out, he had 50,000 troops, but now there are only about 40,000, and the rest have been put in the counties he captured to guard against the rebellion of those families, which still recruited a lot of new soldiers along the way, otherwise, even the current number will not be reached.

"The last general commands!" A trace of excitement flashed on Gan Ning's face, and he arched his hand. As a martial artist, there is nothing more to prove himself than to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, especially with more and more fierce generals under Lu An, which really makes Gan Ning feel pressure, in terms of merit, he is now the first military general under Lu An, in order to maintain his advantage, Gan Ning must definitely prove himself with more brilliant achievements.

"Very good, let's take a break for a day today, and start marching separately tomorrow! Take down Huiji and Kure as fast as you can! Lu An's eyes looked in the direction of the two counties, although these two families have a lot of troops to guard, but compared to the soldiers of the Lu An Army who have already experienced a hundred battles, it is not enough to see, the difference is only in the length of time.
