Stomp ......

The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded outside the town of Changhe, and a cavalry galloped forward.

"Stop, who's coming?" A soldier guarding the city gates, shouting at the top of his voice.

As soon as the man at the head pulled the reins, the cavalry behind him also stopped.

"The son of Lujiang Taishou, the partial general Lu Ji, on the orders of the Taishou, there is something important to find the chief of Chaohu" Lu Ji, who was sitting on the war horse, replied loudly.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were shocked, then looked at each other and moved out of the way.

"The mayor of Chaohu is in the mayor's mansion, please go to the general by himself," the soldier led by him said respectfully.

Lu Ji slapped his horse and roared in with the cavalry behind him.

Sweat from the size of the bean emerged from his forehead, and the speed of the war horse sped up a little.

At the gate of the mayor's mansion, Lu Ji turned over and dismounted, and the cavalry hurriedly identified themselves to the soldiers guarding the door. Then he led the war horse to the side and waited quietly.

Lu Ji climbed the stairs and walked into the mayor's mansion, and at the same time, a soldier quickly ran in.

"Qiqi Chaohu Chief, partial general Lu Ji asks to see" The soldier walked into the mansion first, shouting at the top of his voice.

Jia Nian, who had just come back, hurriedly stood up and walked outside to greet him.

Lu Su followed.

"Why did Brother Shi come in a hurry?" Jia Nian saw the sweat on Lu Ji's forehead that had not yet had time to wipe off, and asked loudly. Although his eyes were puzzled, he vaguely felt the intention in his heart.

Lu Ji stretched out his hand and wiped it: "The military situation is urgent, I'll make a long story short"

"Please" Jia Nian saw Lu Ji's serious expression, turned around and pointed into the room.

Lu Ji was not polite, and walked inside.

Everyone sat down, and Lu Ji calmed down a little: "It's not a secret, this time I came to ask for help."

"Asking for help? But the war in Shouchun City is unfavorable? Jia Nian asked.

Lu Ji nodded and shook his head: "Although the imperial court sent Bao Hong, the captain of the military academy, to attack Ge Po, the war was unfavorable. The assassin of Yuzhou asked me to send troops to Yangzhou to help, so my father had no choice but to lead the Lujiang defenders to help."

"But I don't want the rear to catch fire, Chen Ce, who is entrenched in the mountains, raised 3,000 troops to attack Anhui County, and now Anhui County is in danger, so I can only ask the Chaohu Governor to send troops to help," Lu Ji said.

After a slight pause, he continued: "Father has a word, if the head of Chaohu can hold Anhui County, he is willing to recruit the head of Chaohu to be the commander of Anhui County and the county order as a reward."

"Chen Ce stormed Anhui County?" Jia Nian couldn't help but be surprised, calculating that it was only half a month before he occupied Chaohu.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ce's reaction was so fast, and he went directly out of the mountain and went straight to Anhui County.

"Now that all the counties are empty, please send troops to attack Chen Ce as soon as possible, so that he can't plunder the Lujiang River," Lu Ji said loudly.

Originally, he galloped under the stars along the way, thinking that Changhe Town would not be able to compete with Chen Ce. But what he saw and heard along the way surprised him.

Unexpectedly, in just half a month, there were more than 1,500 soldiers and horses in Changhe Town.

No wonder my father reacted when he heard about it.

Now it seems that it is not unreasonable.

It's only been a long time, and he already has 1,500 soldiers, and if he gives it a period of time, wouldn't the number of troops in this place exceed that of Lujiang.

But if Chaohu Chang and Chen Ce clash, the strength of the two will be greatly damaged after the battle, and these hidden dangers will also disappear by themselves.

"Brother Shi, don't worry, Chen Ce and I have a blood feud. Even if there is no order from Shibo, he will send troops to fight against Chen Ce for his younger brother," Jia Nian paused a little when he said this.

showed a look of embarrassment: "It's just that Chaohu Lake has been decided, people's hearts are unstable, and there are saliva thieves on the side." Whether it can be granted the post of Wancheng County Commander first, after settling Chaohu, it is not too late to send troops?"

"Brother Xian, this matter is not something that my brother can decide, and it takes too long to come and go, if you wait for your father to reply, it will not be a missed opportunity," Lu Ji explained.

Lu Su took the opportunity to interject: "The matter is urgent, can the general let the lord crusade against Chen Ce in the name of Anhui County and the county order?" ”

"Yes" Lu Ji gritted his teeth and said: "I will report this matter to my father in detail, and allow Jia Di to act in the name of Anhui County and the county order."

Jia Nian saluted: "Thank you so much"

"Brother Shi also knows that my Jia family is quite popular in Anhui County, and only the name of the county order can better recapture Anhui County" Jia Nian apologized.

Lu Ji smiled: "Brother Wei naturally understands, Brother Jia doesn't have to worry too much, just ask Chen Ce with peace of mind."

"Now that the counties are empty, please also ask Jia Di to send troops quickly, if Chen Ce captures Shu County, the capital of Anhui County, I am afraid that the situation will be out of control at that time" Lu Ji urged.

Jia Nian nodded: "I'll go to reorganize the armament and fight."

"In this way, there will be Brother Laojia," Lu Ji said.

showed a hint of leaving: "The war in Runan is imminent, I can't stay for a long time for my brother, Brother Jia will leave"

"Please" Jia Nian saw Lu Ji's resolute expression, and stretched out his hand to point out of the door in front of him.

Lu Ji smiled and strode away.

The voice drifted along the wind: "For my brother, I will wait for Jia Di's good news in Runan"

"I will live up to the expectations of my brother and my uncle," Jia Nian said loudly.

Then the conversation changed: "The soldiers can't be sent off quickly"

"Clever and virtuous" Jia Nian raised his voice.

Tang Gaoming and Sun Deqiu, who were guarding the door, said violently: "In"

"Send my brother for me," Jia Nian ordered.

Tang Gaoming and Sun Deqiu replied respectfully: "No"

……

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Lu Su and Jia Nian looked at each other and smiled.

"Is it a bit too hasty for us to directly ask for the name of Anhui County and the county order?" Jia Nian asked.

Lu Su explained: "Although it will leave some bad impressions, it has to be so"

"If the name is not right, it is not good, if you send troops to Anhui County in the name of the head of Chaohu, even if the lord is the person of the Jia family, he will suffer resistance. And since this position has been promised, why not just land it for peace? If the time drags on too long, it may change," Lu Su said.

Jia Nian frowned, he heard something from these words: "Change? ”

"If the strength of the lord not only did not suffer a big loss but grew stronger after the lord eliminated Chen Ce, wouldn't Taishou be jealous? At that time, this Anhui County was still the lord's? Lu Su asked.

Jia Nian nodded slowly, agreeing with Lu Su's words.

"If you send troops in the name of Anhui County and the county order, you can take advantage of the situation to occupy the county seat. At that time, the lord is strong and occupies the name of the county order, and even if the Taishou wants to regret it, there is no room for it," Lu Su said.

After a slight pause, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "And maybe there are unexpected benefits"

"Is it good?" Jia Nian smiled playfully.

Although Lu Kang is a high-ranking and powerful shepherd, he is a court official after all, not a prince along the way. Moreover, his identity is a child of a family. Although his strength is big, he can't move roughly, so he can only leave.

If his merits are enough to reveal the intention of leaving, how can he not send them away.
