Chapter Twenty-Eight: Conquering Lujiang County

Wang Xuan personally led a group of generals out to greet Xu Chu, which flattered Xu Chu and hurriedly bowed down.

"Zhongkang, more than a year has passed since we separated." Wang Xuan walked over to help Xu Chu up, and asked with a chuckle, "How are you doing lately?" Can the old lady be healthy? ”

"Don't dare to worry about the lord, my father has been in good health recently." The gratitude in Xu Chu's eyes was even stronger, and he had already paid Shi for the death of his confidant.

After the two chattered a few words to each other, Xu Chu suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Lord, in fact, I have already arrived in Danyang County half a month ago, but I have not been able to get a gift, so I dare not come to your door to disturb you." ”

Wang Xuan was secretly amused in his heart, no wonder he had been waiting for Xu Chu to come to the door during this time, but he had not seen anyone for a long time, it turned out that Xu Chu was looking for a "name petition"!

Although Xu Chu is not the kind of resourceful person, he is definitely not stupid, knowing that if he comes to Wang Xuan empty-handed, although Wang Xuan will not treat him badly, but if he carries a "letter of nomination", he will naturally be more reused by Wang Xuan.

"Lord, today you led the army to defeat Sun Jian, and the remnants led by Sun Jian escaped from the encirclement, and they happened to be bumped into by me." Xu Chuhan said with a smile: "I couldn't help but lead people to intercept it, I didn't expect to succeed, but I didn't expect Sun Jian to be seriously injured, and the four generals under his command were also injured, and they were directly killed by me." ”

Originally, Wang Xuan didn't care much about Xu Chu's "vote for fame", but after hearing Xu Chu's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes!

Sun Jian was really unlucky, he didn't expect that he had already rushed out of the chaos, and he was still arrested by Xu Chu, and he was still regarded as a "vote for his name......

The surrounding generals who went out of the camp with Wang Xuan to greet Xu Chu were originally disapproving of Xu Chu, but at this time, they all let go of the contempt in their hearts, and they were a little more in awe when they saw Xu Chu.

After all, he caught the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, which is a great credit! With this great merit, Xu Chu's status under Wang Xuan will definitely not be low!

Only Zhang Fei was indignant in his heart and complained: "You also know that Sun Jian is seriously injured? His injuries were left by me, and the four generals under his command were also injured by me. If it weren't for my injuries that hadn't healed, and the lord had ordered me to stay alive, I would have slaughtered them a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be cheaper now! ”

The smile on Xu Chu's face never subsided, he looked at Zhang Fei innocently, and said: "Yide, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, listening to your tone, it seems that your strength has improved again?" Why don't we wait until we have time? ”

"Just what I want!" The resentment on Zhang Fei's face all dissipated, he had also fought with Xu Chu a few times before, and the two of them were half a catty and eight taels, and they met opponents in chess.

Now that Zhang Fei has embarked on the path of martial arts cultivation, and Xu Chu has not yet enjoyed the benefits of aura recovery, the strength gap between the two has widened.

Since Xu Chu has proposed to learn, he Zhang Fei will reluctantly beat Xu Chu for his embarrassment!

The village warriors of Xujiazhuang dispersed, revealing a few captives surrounded in the middle, who else could it be if it wasn't Sun Jian and his four generals?

At this time, Sun Jian and the others were all firmly tied up by Xu Chu with cowhide ropes, and they were all stuffed with sackcloth in their mouths.

"I have heard the prestige of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai for a long time, and I never imagined that I would meet you under this situation." Wang Xuan sighed and motioned to his subordinates to take out the linen cloth from Sun Jian's mouth.

Sun Jian's face turned red, and he was indignant: "Wang Zichuan, if you want to kill you, you have to listen to the respect, there is no need to insult me!" ”

"Where am I insulting you?" Wang Xuan was a little puzzled, he still wanted Sun Jian to be his subordinate, of course there was no reason to insult Sun Jian.

But Sun Jian was captured at this time, he only felt ashamed and indignant, and he had no face to see people, no matter what Wang Xuan said, he felt uncomfortable.

There is a good saying, "There are always people who want to harm me", and in some cases, it is inevitable that there will be some persecution paranoia, and Sun Jian is like this.

According to the usual routine of the ancients, Wang Xuan should have asked people to loosen Sun Jian's ties at this time, let Sun Jian leave, and secretly take some precautions.

And Sun Jian bowed his head and took refuge under Wang Xuan. If Sun Jian chooses Toutie and really leaves after loosening the ties, the people that Wang Xuan has arranged long ago will naturally arrest him back......

However, this routine works for many generals, but it is absolutely useless for Sun Jian. Sun Jian is not a simple general, he is unwilling to be subservient, even if he takes refuge in Yuan Shu, he will be out of Yuan Shu's control as soon as he has the opportunity.

If Wang Xuan insisted on recruiting Sun Jian at this time, Sun Jian would most likely agree, but there would never be any loyalty to speak of.

So Wang Xuan waved his hand and asked people to take Sun Jian down. When his power develops to a certain point and has a tendency to dominate the world, when the time comes, he will recruit Sun Jian, and it will be a matter of course.

This time the big battle, because Xu Chu suddenly appeared and caught Sun Jian, it can be described as a great success.

After a night of silence, Wang Xuan ordered his soldiers to recuperate. The next day, under the banner of revenge, he led his troops north across the Yangtze River and attacked Lujiang County!

At this time, Lujiang County was already empty, and there was no effective resistance organized, so Wang Xuan took the soldiers and horses to the place where he passed, and he fell all the way.

The three county towns of Juchao, Xixian and Zongyang were all under Wang Xuan's control, and it was not until they came to Zhishu County, Lujiang County, that they encountered some resistance.

Shu County has already repaired the city defense, according to the city to defend the city, Wang Xuan sent soldiers and horses to kill several times, all in vain.

"Now that Sun Jian has been captured alive by me, who is organizing resistance in the city?" Wang Xuan asked the people around him.

A local general from Lujiang County replied: "After Sun Wentai became the Taishou of Lujiang County, he brought his family members into Shu County. It was Sun Wentai's eldest son Sun Ce who organized resistance in the city! ”

"Sun Ce?" Wang Xuan's face was a little strange, Sun Ce was born in the same year as Zhou Yu, only a few months older than Zhou Yu. In other words, he is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, which makes Wang Xuan feel like bullying children.

"Although bullying children is very inauthentic, this is war, and it's time to teach Sun Ce some principles of life."

Wang Xuan's army was stationed outside the city, not besieging the city, but just letting people fight outside the city every day.

At the same time, he sent Shi with his letters, as well as the forged letters of Sun Jian, to take over the remaining counties of Lujiang County.

Sun Jian's letter is a forgery, in fact, as long as you are not too stupid, you can guess it. However, the letter is fake, but the Lujiang County Taishou seal on the letter is real, and it is also one of Wang Xuan's trophies.

Those counties did not resist much, and few people were willing to try a war knowing that there was no chance of victory.

Anyway, a few days after Sun Jian sat in the position of the Taishou of Lujiang County, he did not make Lujiang County a monolith, and the local forces were not convinced by him.

So half a month later, all the territory of the entire Lujiang County except for the county seat of Shuxian County had been included in Wang Xuan's grasp, and Sun Ce could only be trapped in the lonely city.

This is still Wang Xuan's attention to things, and he did not bully the child Sun Ce ruthlessly.

If he was ruthless, he would directly push Sun Jian out and execute him outside the county seat of Shu County, he wouldn't believe that Sun Ce would not surrender!

If you don't surrender, you are unfilial, and this era attaches great importance to filial piety. Sun Ce was already very young and difficult to convince the public, if he had a "unfilial" name on his back and didn't need Wang Xuan to do it, there would naturally be people in the city who would open the city and surrender.

But that would be too hateful, and use Sun Jian's life to force Sun Ce to surrender, who can guarantee that Sun Ce will not hold a grudge in the future?

Wang Xuan hoped that there would be one more fierce general under his command, and when he dealt with the strange beasts of the mountain and sea world in the future, he would also be able to resist more. So the kind of method that is too hateful still can't be used.
