The sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside the Lujiang Taishou Mansion, and the soldiers guarding the door saw that it was Gu Yong and hurriedly bowed. Without telling you, you can open your legs and go inside. Jia Nian, who was standing next to him, secretly looked at these soldiers, and then sped up.

It was as if the droplets of water had melted into the lake, and there were no ripples.

Walk through a row of houses and straight to the backyard.

When I looked up, I saw the willows in front of me swaying in the wind beside the pond, which added a bit of poetry out of thin air.

"I've seen Taishou"

"I've seen Sebor"

Gu Yong and Jia Nian walked to the willow forest and bowed to Lu Kang, who was strolling by the pond.

Lu Kang didn't turn around to look, but looked around at the sparkling water in front of him and the fish swimming in the water.

"Jia Taishou has left his post for more than two years, and he didn't expect to give Ben Taishou a surprise as soon as he came back"

"Why did Shi Bo say this?"

"Don't you know? Or have you lost control of Yuzhang County? ”

Although he couldn't see Lu Kang's expression, Jia Nian could feel the anger in his words.

Without waiting for Jia Nian to speak, Lu Kang couldn't help but sigh.

"That's it, for the sake of not making a big mistake at this time, let's stop it."

"Shibo thinks the little nephew did something wrong in this matter?"

"Do you think you're doing the right thing?"

Lu Kang asked rhetorically, his tone was quite stern.

Jia Nian's brows furrowed, but thinking of the current situation, he replied to Lu Kang.

"The world has been in turmoil, and since Dong Taishi entered Luoyang, the majesty of the imperial court has been greatly damaged. In addition, Sun Changsha's killing of the state pastor at the time of the alliance made it even worse, so it became the current situation."

"Yuan Shu is just the son of the Yuan family who was deposed and idle at home, but he relied on the prestige of the fourth and third princes to raise troops in the name of responding to the crusade against Dong Zhuo. In order to appease him, the imperial court worshiped him as the Taishou of Jiujiang. However, his people relied on strong soldiers and horses, claiming to be Yangzhou Mu, and annexed the land of the four counties under the pretext of crusading against Shanyue. Now he has set his sights on Lujiang and Yuzhang."

Although the little nephew came back not long ago, he also heard that Yuan Shu sent troops and sent 5,000 soldiers to the Sun family to be stationed in Hefei Houguo. and let Ji Ling and others lead more than 10,000 troops to be stationed in the three counties south of the Yangtze River."

The war between the two sides was imminent, but Yuan Shu asked the general stationed in the Marquis of Hefei to send an envoy to Lujiang County. If the little nephew didn't hear it, it would be fine, but now that he heard it, he naturally wanted to ambush him, and use his head to inspire the soldiers of the three armies."

Hearing Jia Nian's words, Lu Kang's displeasure that had just been suppressed rose again.

Turned to look at Jia Nian and said to him.

"Do you think that killing Sun Ce in my Lujiang County Mansion at this time can boost the morale of the soldiers of the three armies?"

"The two countries are still at war, let alone the envoy of his Yuan Shu"

"And have you thought about it, once Sun Ce is beheaded, what will happen to the five thousand soldiers and horses stationed in the Marquis of Hefei? It is important to know that there is more than one Sun Ce in the Sun family."

After speaking, Lu Kang's anger became a little lighter, and he felt that his tone was a little harsh, so he gradually slowed down.

Although the two families are world friends, they are only world friends, and this person needs to be in control of the proportion as Yuzhang Taishou.

"Whether it's for public or private, this matter is in the past"

"I don't want to see the news that Sun Ce was killed in Chaohu"

"Nephew understands"

Jia Nian replied to Lu Kang.

Lu Kang let out another sigh.

"After this incident, I am afraid that the war will spread"

"Even if you and I combine the two counties, there are only 13,000 people, how can we defeat Yuan Zhoumu, who has four counties and 30,000 mercenaries?"

"Even if you hold on to the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist"

Hearing Lu Kang's worries, Jia Nian couldn't help but shake his head.

Looking at the fish swimming in the pond, he casually asked him.

"Does Shibo think that I only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses?"

"It is already difficult to support more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in a county, is it impossible for the virtuous nephew to have soldiers and horses?"

Lu Kang couldn't help but be taken aback, and there was a faint look of expectation in his eyes.

Jia Nian did not reply directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Shibo knows that now I, Yuzhang, have added 7,000 troops to Anhui County and Chaohu Lake."

"Seven thousand? Isn't it three thousand? ”

Lu Kang couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, where did the seven thousand soldiers and horses come from? Doesn't he want Yuzhang County? Or does Yuzhang have the confidence to resist the attack of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River with only 3,000 soldiers and horses?

Jia Nian nodded slowly.

"The little nephew has asked the military advisor Liu Ye to control 7,000 soldiers and horses, lead 3,000 troops to Chaohu, and the remaining 4,000 people are deployed along the Yangtze River in Anhui County and Mixukou."

"First, three thousand soldiers and horses are enough to resist the attack of the Marquis of Hefei, even if they are defeated, they can delay time."

"Second, 4,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in Anhui County and Weixukou respectively, and they can gallop to the north to help Chaohu Lake, and to the south they can deter Danyang County, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

"Therefore, the first line of Chaohu Lake can ensure worry-free"

Lu Kang was not only not relieved when he heard these words, but became a little more puzzled.

kept deducing the current situation in Yangzhou in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhang, although most of the troops stationed in Anhui County and Weixukou can ensure that my Lujiang County deters Danyang, but how should you Yuzhang resist Ji Ling and Qiao Rui's department?"

"I ordered Gan Ning's troops to return to Yuzhang County"

"Gan Ning's department?"

Lu Kang was confused, why was Gan Ning's department involved? So what about the seven thousand soldiers and horses he just said?

Seeing Lu Kang's puzzled look, Jia Nian asked him.

"Shi Bo is wondering where did the seven thousand soldiers and horses come from?"

"Exactly"

Lu Kang said frankly to Jia Nian that the two sides jointly faced the pressure of Yuan Shu at the same time. In the case of inferior troops, population, and territory, if they still hide from each other, then what awaits can only be destruction.

"According to the information I got from Lujiang County, if it wasn't for the soldiers and horses mobilized by Liu Ye, the military division of Yuzhang, from Yuzhang County, then where did these soldiers come from?"

"In recent years, some troops of Ganning have been stationed in Chaohu, Mixukou and Anhui County, and 5,000 soldiers and horses have been controlled."

"If Gan Ning's troops return to Yuzhang, doesn't that mean that these 5,000 soldiers and horses will leave? So where did the virtuous nephew come from the seven thousand elites?"

"Shi Bo knows how Lujiang County has been preserved when he has encountered great pressure over the years?"

Jia Nian did not reply, but asked Lu Kang.

Lu Kang couldn't help but freeze in place when he heard this, vaguely as if he felt something.

"You mean the remnants of the Gepo Yellow Turban in the mountains?"

"Wait, seven thousand?"

"Ge Po Yellow Turban is your Yuzhang soldiers?"

In an instant, everything was clear, and Lu Kang couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

No one could have imagined that as early as two years ago, this virtuous nephew had actually planted an ambush of such a large scale.

Gu Yong, who was standing behind him, had already learned the news on the Yangtze River, but at this time, there were still waves, and the appearance of these seven thousand soldiers and horses had indeed changed the passive situation. At least at this time, it is not a crisis, but a stalemate with each other.
