Chapter 115: Sun Ce seizes Jiangdong

In the autumn of 193 AD, Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu, and exchanged the jade seal of the country to Yuan Shu in exchange for his father's old department and 3,000 soldiers and horses, and then with the help of his righteous brother Zhou Yu, he swept through several places in Jiangdong in just a few months, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and was in the limelight for a while, so that the world attracted attention. And among them, the most shocked is the four counties of Jingnan led by Lu An.

"Sun Ce, this guy, doesn't play cards according to common sense!" Sitting high at the top of the meeting hall, Lu An was thinking nonsense in his mind, according to history, Sun Ce obviously started to act in 194, but he didn't think that it was half a year ahead of schedule, and it was even more powerful than in history, and he actually went from nothing to now owning several counties in a few months, although nominally Sun Ce is still a subordinate of Yuan Shu, but in fact he already has the capital to stand on his own.

"My lord, since you have been preempted, please make a decision quickly!" The civil and military forces in the audience all knew that Lu An's strategic policy was to pacify Yangzhou, and with different expressions, Guo Jia stood up and spoke.

"There's nothing to hesitate about, quickly pass my order to Changsha, with Gan Ning as the vanguard army, Jia Xu as the military division, and they will lead 20,000 troops to go to Yangzhou immediately, only go down to the city, and don't care about anything else! I will personally recruit and send soldiers to take over the city! Lu An calmed down, and immediately walked towards a small school on the side. At this moment, since others are taking the lead, they must also speed up the progress, otherwise they won't even be able to drink the soup when it's too late.

"Yes!" The junior colonel received the order and immediately went out.

"Lord, is this too urgent, our Guiyang Lingling and Changsha counties have not yet stabilized, and we will immediately set out to fight, I'm afraid it will!" Gu Yong got up and said hurriedly. At this time, the Changhe Academy was basically stable, and Lu An transferred him back, Gu Yong knew that in addition to Wuling, the situation in the four counties of Jingnan had already been settled, and the other three counties had been dissatisfied for a long time because of the implementation of Lu An's new policy.

"It's okay, I already have a conclusion in my heart, in order to wait for their own possible actions, it is better to directly lead the snake out of the hole, and whoever has two hearts will know when it is played!" Lu An's eyes flashed, he already had a thorough plan for this matter, among the four counties he owned, Wuling had been completely wiped out by himself, the families were all cut to wealth and no strength, while the other three counties were not so fast, now that they are going to go on an expedition, it is better to make a plan to cut through the chaos quickly.

"Dare to ask the lord? How to lure a snake out of a hole? Gu Yong asked.

"This expedition does not have to pour out of the nest, I only led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the expedition, and declared that I would lead 100,000 troops, and the rest were all hidden in the counties, and the county guards were directly commanded. Lu An said, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, he has always shown gentleness, but this does not mean that he is a good person, this time he deliberately declared that the full strength of the army is a temptation, those family heroes are a little strong, if they are restless, then don't blame him for showing his sword.

"Lord, I'm afraid that it's not appropriate, I'm waiting for the Jingnan area, the reputation itself is not good in this world's middle family, if those families in the territory really fall into the lord's plan, it will be difficult for us to convince the public if we don't kill it, if it is really killed, I'm afraid that the lord will be completely resisted and controlled by the world's family in the future, not only will he not get any assistance, not to mention, the development of Jingnan may also be greatly affected." Gu Yong arched his hand and said thoughtfully.

In this era, most of the wealth is controlled in the wealthy families, including various trades, post stations, restaurants, these important circulation businesses, the original family in the world is very repulsive to Lu An's new policy, if Lu An shows a butcher's knife to these families, then the family in the world is likely to have the same hatred, all the commercial transactions in Wuling have been withdrawn, just like the economic blockade of later generations.

"I didn't intend to rely on those families to succeed, if they resist and control, we will be self-sufficient, and we will be hard, at least we are all united, and as long as there are interests, those families may not be able to do this." Lu An said lightly.

How could he not know what Gu Yong said, but Lu An had already planned for the worst, since he was on the road of opening up new rules and systems, these families would be cleaned up by him sooner or later, rather than being entangled with them now, it was better to completely block the road as soon as possible, so that it would be difficult to start in the future, and not all wealthy families would completely reject him, such as the Mi family and the Zhen family, this kind of pure commercial family doesn't care about those, as long as there are interests, they will definitely not cut off contact with Jingnan, Lu An, this kind of business family, believes that there are not a few.

"This, my lord, if it really comes to that point, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch!" Gu Yong said hurriedly. Although this world is said to be the Liu family, but the actual rulers belong to the wealthy families in the world, the Liu family is only the largest of them at most, and Lu An actually faintly intends to completely break with these wealthy families, Rao is Gu Yong's wisdom, and he can't imagine what the consequences will be in the future.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind, you don't think too highly of those families, without them, we can still govern well, what we should care about now is the war against Yangzhou!" Lu An shook his hand to show his determination. In the Taizu era of New China in later generations, at that time, 90% of the wealth of the mainland was swept away to Yizhou, and the whole country was poor and dingle, and it didn't survive as much, and everyone was united, people were determined to win the day, no matter how he Lu An was, he would not get to that point, so what was there to fear, instead of worrying about this, it was better to worry about war, this is the era of the heroes, with Lu An's current strength, he dare not guarantee when he will fall into the sand.

"The words of the lord are exquisite, so that Jia suddenly realized and admired it very much!" As soon as Lu An's words fell, the sycophant Guo Jia suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.

"Hehe, this guy!" Lu An smiled and shook his head, for Guo Jia's intentions, he saw it clearly, this was to help him break the siege, just after he finished speaking, those civil officials under his command seemed to want to speak again, they must have wanted to admonish again, Guo Jia naturally noticed it, but stood up in front of those people and showed his support, so that others would naturally not be able to speak, otherwise it would undoubtedly slap Lu An and Guo Jia in the face, but Guo Jia, this guy, also used such a disgusting Guo Shi's sycophant to solve the siege, which really made him a little speechless.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, let's decide it! The ministers went to prepare military rations and grass, and the generals went to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and the speed should be fast! Seeing that everyone was speechless for a while, Lu An smiled slightly, and quickly spoke.

"Whoa!" Although Gu Yong and the others still had different opinions, their own lords had already made up their minds, and they didn't have much to say, so they all responded.

Three days later, Lu An picked up his Qingyu Phoenix spear and prepared to leave the house to go to the school field, where his soldiers and horses were already waiting for him.

"Husband (Xuantong)!" Two coquettish voices came, but it was Diao Chan and Cai Yan who came over.

"Are you really going to go with me?" Seeing that Diao Chan was not wearing a Luo skirt, but was dressed in men's clothes, and carrying the pair of gold-topped jade hammers on his bag, Lu An felt a little weird and couldn't help asking.

"Of course, the husband promised the concubine last time, saying that if the concubine and the husband go together, the husband can't speak!" Diao Chan nodded and asked softly.

"Hehe, just go!" Lu An smiled faintly and stroked her black hair, not to mention, Diao Chan's dress, although it is a little less charming, but a little more heroic, quite a bit of uniform temptation.

"Thank you, husband!" Diao Chan grinned, approached Lu An's side, and hugged his hand tightly.

"The slave family embroidered a sachet for Xuantong, and I hope Xuantong will return safely!" Looking at the affectionate look of the two, Cai Yan bit his lip lightly, hesitated, or took out a sachet from his arms and handed it to Lu An.

"Thank you, Wenji!" Looking at the sachet in front of him that still vaguely exuded the fragrance of Cai Yan's body, Lu An took it very carefully, hid it closely, and then smiled at Cai Yan.

"It's good if Xuantong doesn't dislike it!" Seeing Lu An's very precious appearance, Cai Yan showed a slight look of shame on his face and said in a low voice.

"Hehe, Sister Yan'er rushed to do it overnight, how could the husband dislike it, Sister Yan'er, don't worry, when the husband returns from the battle, he will marry you as a flat wife!" Diao Chan got Lu An's consent to accompany him to the battle, and when he saw Cai Yan's reluctant appearance at this time, he didn't have any jealousy, but laughed.

"Huh!" Cai Yan's face suddenly turned red, and he secretly glanced at Lu An's side, and when he saw that he was also looking towards him, he was even more shy, and turned around and ran away, but before running away, he still left an inaudible voice: "The slave family is waiting!" ”

When Lu An came to the school ground, the assembly had already been completed, and when they saw Diao Chan actually coming with Lu An, although everyone was surprised, they didn't say anything, and the ghostly Guo Jia even winked at Lu An, Lu An naturally ignored it, and went directly to the general stage, and after saying something to boost morale, he immediately ordered to set off.

This time, on the side of the scribes, Lu An only brought Guo Jia, and the generals were followed by Shamoke and Zhou Tai and the captain of the guard, Niu Wa, plus Gan Ning and Jia Xu, who had already set off from Changsha, it can be said that it was already a pretty good lineup, and in terms of soldiers, Lu An really brought 100,000 elite soldiers out, of course, all this is to hide people's eyes, and in a few days, there will be 50,000 soldiers and horses who will secretly turn back from the night and scatter to each county to guard against some possible accidents.
